Edison Tiessen is 2 years old. He doesn’t yet know how to write, but he does have devoted readers. “Fridays with Edison,” a weekly newsletter, has become a must-read for residents of a Toronto retirement home, who have been isolated during the pandemic. The World’s Bianca Hillier has the story.
The story you just read is available for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
Make a gift today, and you’ll get us one step closer to our goal of raising $25,000 by June 14. We need your help now more than ever!
