A weekly visit for Álvaro, 73, who lives alone in Alcalá de Henares
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Álvaro is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Álvaro, who's 73. Álvaro lives alone in Alcalá de Henares, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 810 kilometers away.
Álvaro loves knitting, 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.
I hope life is good to you.
