Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Riverside
Wesley lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Wesley, who's 81. Wesley lives alone in Riverside, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 291 kilometers away.
Wesley loves knitting, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Adalynn. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Adalynn. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 20 people at work. God bless.
