Could you share an hour a week with Alberto?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Alberto, who's 72. Alberto lives alone in New York, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Alberto loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Get well soon. Love from Derry.

    • rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

      • wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of New York!

        • You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of New York

          • take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
