Companionship wanted: Jimena's old films and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Jimena is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jimena, who's 92. Jimena lives alone in Grand Rapids, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Jimena loves old films, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
