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

I'm writing for my neighbor Jorge, who's 75. Jorge lives alone in Veracruz, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Jorge loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from St. Petersburg.
Best of luck, Manuel. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Santa Fe.
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Veracruz.
Sending strength, Manuel. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Pretoria
Thinking of you and your family, Manuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Manuel. Shared this with my family.
