A weekly visit for Juan, 77, who lives alone in Cali

Juan lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Juan, who's 77. Juan lives alone in Cali, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Juan loves chess, 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.

  • hope things get better soon, Andrés. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
