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

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

Vigo
I'm writing for my neighbor Nuria, who's 91. Nuria lives alone in Vigo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Nuria loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

    Thanks for sharing this, Mercedes. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Vigo.
