A weekly visit for Roberto, 82, who lives alone in Madrid

Looking for a friendly person in Madrid to visit Roberto once a week.

Madrid
I'm writing for my neighbor Roberto, who's 82. Roberto lives alone in Madrid, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Roberto loves gardening, 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. Thank you for reading my story.
