A weekly visit for Rosa, 94, who lives alone in Bilbao

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rosa is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rosa, who's 94. Rosa lives alone in Bilbao, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Rosa loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Glad we found this place.

    thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bilbao.

      You're not alone, Irene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Bilbao

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
