Companionship wanted: Fernando's opera and a cup of tea
Fernando lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fernando, who's 78. Fernando lives alone in Tehuacán, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Fernando loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Joaquín. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
