A weekly visit for Carmen, 80, who lives alone in Medellín
Carmen lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Carmen, who's 80. Carmen lives alone in Medellín, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 861 kilometers away.
Carmen loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

Keep going, Mauricio. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Lagos.
Keep going. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page.
