Companionship wanted: Lorenzo's baking and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Coyoacán to visit Lorenzo once a week.

Coyoacán
I'm writing for my neighbor Lorenzo, who's 90. Lorenzo lives alone in Coyoacán, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Lorenzo loves baking, 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 37 people at work.
