Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Fresno

Gabriel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gabriel, who's 92. Gabriel lives alone in Fresno, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Gabriel loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
