Companionship wanted: Verónica's chess and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Verónica, who's 79. Verónica lives alone in Tarragona, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 591 kilometers away. Verónica loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Glad we found this place.

            Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

            • Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

                • Sending love. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

                  • Praying for you, Araceli. Wishing Verónica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
