Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Toronto
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Abigail is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Abigail, who's 86. Abigail lives alone in Toronto, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Abigail loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week

Sending strength, Brooks. Get well soon. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Pune.
Hang in there, Brooks. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mansoura this morning. All the best.
Stay strong, Brooks. Looking forward to the next update. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Kakamega
