Companionship wanted: Gonzalo's chess and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Gonzalo is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gonzalo, who's 73. Gonzalo lives alone in Mar del Plata, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Gonzalo loves chess, 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. Glad we found this place.

        Rooting for you, Lorena. 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.

        • Wishing you the best, Lorena. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
