Companionship wanted: Joaquín's gardening and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in San Cristóbal de las Casas to visit Joaquín once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Joaquín, who's 79. Joaquín lives alone in San Cristóbal de las Casas, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Joaquín loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Stay strong, Andrea. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas!
Rooting for you, Andrea. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
