Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in San Francisco
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Olivia is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Olivia, who's 94. Olivia lives alone in San Francisco, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Olivia loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you peace, Oliver. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of San Francisco.
Good luck, Oliver. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Mukono so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Oliver. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
