Companionship wanted: Raúl's local history and a cup of tea

Raúl lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Raúl, who's 84. Raúl lives alone in Bilbao, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Raúl loves local history, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Keep going, Paloma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

          Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal. Love from Ribeirão Preto
