Friendly visitor needed for an 83-year-old neighbor in Saint Paul
Willow lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Willow, who's 83. Willow lives alone in Saint Paul, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 571 kilometers away.
Willow loves birdwatching, 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 hope life is good to you.
