A weekly visit for Rocco, 72, who lives alone in Latina
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rocco is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rocco, who's 72. Rocco lives alone in Latina, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Rocco loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
