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

I'm writing for my neighbor Rodrigo, who's 72. Rodrigo lives alone in Grand Rapids, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Rodrigo loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

Rooting for you, Jorge. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.
Hope things get better soon, Jorge. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Hang in there, Jorge. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
