Companionship wanted: Manuel's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Medellín to visit Manuel once a week.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia1,041 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Manuel, who's 83. Manuel lives alone in Medellín, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Manuel loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Iván. Wishing Manuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Keep going, Iván. Hope the doctors have good news
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Buffalo.
