Companionship wanted: Raúl's gardening and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Raúl is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Raúl, who's 80. Raúl lives alone in Madrid, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Raúl loves gardening, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Love from Manila.
Hope things get better soon, Citlali. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon, Citlali. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mysuru
