Could you share an hour a week with Andrés?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Andrés, who's 73. Andrés lives alone in Guadalajara, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Andrés loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 so much.

    Amazing support system

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

        Thinking of you and your family, Alejandro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Leeds but we're thinking of you. Love from Leeds.
