Companionship wanted: Sebastián's local history and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Durham to visit Sebastián once a week.
🇺🇸 Durham, North Carolina, United States1,013 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Sebastián, who's 89. Sebastián lives alone in Durham, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Sebastián loves local history, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Giza but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Durham.
Stay strong, Esperanza. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
