Companionship wanted: Cristian's knitting and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in New York to visit Cristian once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Cristian, who's 94. Cristian lives alone in New York, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 749 kilometers away.
Cristian loves knitting, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- In person in New York

your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Buenos Aires this morning. Take care.
Keep going, Mercedes. Get well soon. Thinking of New York
Hope you get there. Sent it to 6 people at work. All the best.
