Companionship wanted: Francisco's old films and a cup of tea

Francisco lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Francisco, who's 72. Francisco lives alone in Tarragona, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 742 kilometers away. Francisco loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thanks for sharing this, Renata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.

      Hang in there, Renata. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

      • Josiah S. Morrison

        So sorry you're going through this, Renata. Hope you get there. God bless

        • Florence Namukasa Mollel

          It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Istanbul donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
