Companionship wanted: Arturo's birdwatching and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Arturo is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Arturo, who's 90. Arturo lives alone in Austin, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Arturo loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Hope it all works out, Carlos. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Khon Kaen
Thinking of you and your family, Carlos. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Siliguri.
You're not alone, Carlos. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours
Praying for you, Carlos. Hope this works out for you. After 17 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Love from Fort Portal
Thinking of you and your family, Carlos. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 32 people at work. Greetings from Thrissur.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Enugu
