Companionship wanted: Pablo's knitting and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Pablo, who's 79. Pablo lives alone in Fresno, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 505 kilometers away. Pablo loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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 so much.

              Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from San Sebastián.

                Hang in there, Amparo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!
