Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Brooklyn
Clara lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Clara, who's 86. Clara lives alone in Brooklyn, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Clara loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Brooklyn
So sorry you're going through this, Kevin. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
take care, Kevin. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
