A weekly visit for Iván, 79, who lives alone in Xalapa
Iván lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Iván, who's 79. Iván lives alone in Xalapa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Iván loves baking, 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.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Sylhet
Keep going, Gabriela. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
stay strong, Gabriela. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!

So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending strength, Gabriela. Hope the doctors have good news!
Sending strength, Gabriela. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Casablanca this morning.
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. God bless
Best of luck, Gabriela. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
