Friendly visitor needed for a 93-year-old neighbor in Austin
Luna lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Luna, who's 93. Luna lives alone in Austin, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 574 kilometers away.
Luna loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
