A weekly visit for Valentina, 80, who lives alone in Alcalá de Henares
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 80. Valentina lives alone in Alcalá de Henares, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Valentina loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Madrid
Best of luck, Amparo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hang in there, Amparo. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
