Companionship wanted: Dolores's knitting and a cup of tea
Dolores lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇨🇴 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia233 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Dolores, who's 91. Dolores lives alone in Cali, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Dolores loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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 for reading my story.
