A weekly visit for Valentina, 72, who lives alone in Guadalajara

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Valentina, who's 72. Valentina lives alone in Guadalajara, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 740 kilometers away. Valentina loves opera, 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 so much.

            Wishing you peace, Claudia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.

            • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

                  This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!
