A weekly visit for Irene, 73, who lives alone in Mar del Plata
Irene lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇦🇷 Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina969 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Irene, who's 73. Irene lives alone in Mar del Plata, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Irene loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
