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

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

Celaya
I'm writing for my neighbor Karina, who's 79. Karina lives alone in Celaya, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Karina 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. Thank you for reading my story.
