I think the point of the article was that people were kind enough to be his friend without some sort of hidden agenda

For how long though? In the FB she mentioned that payment is not optional because people in the past have stopped visiting eventually.

I think it'd take someone who actually really likes hanging out with him, not someone willing to do it just to be nice and do a good thing because that isn't going to last forever.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. Hopefully they can get him connected with someone that will truly be a friend for him. I know how hard it is to make friends when you get older
