Companionship wanted: Mercedes's knitting and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in San Jose to visit Mercedes once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mercedes, who's 90. Mercedes lives alone in San Jose, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Mercedes loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Gonzalo. Get well soon. Love from Jakarta.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Austin.
Take care, Gonzalo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Gonzalo. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Awka.
