A weekly visit for Karina, 76, who lives alone in Móstoles
Karina lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Karina, who's 76. Karina lives alone in Móstoles, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 816 kilometers away.
Karina loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

- Trustworthy helper
This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.
- Really cared about my situation
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

Hope it all works out, Rosa. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Gazipur.
Wishing Karina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
take care. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Rosa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
thanks for sharing this, Rosa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Medellín.
Get well soon. Thinking of Móstoles.
