Friendly visitor needed for an 80-year-old neighbor in Los Angeles

Looking for a friendly person in Los Angeles to visit Alejandro once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Alejandro, who's 80. Alejandro lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 634 kilometers away. Alejandro loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 hope life is good to you.

    Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Dar es Salaam but we're thinking of you

      Best of luck, Francisco. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. God bless

        Praying for you, Francisco. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Take care.

          Take care, Francisco. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

            hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Los Angeles.
