Could you share an hour a week with Carlos?

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

Monterrey
I'm writing for my neighbor Carlos, who's 84. Carlos lives alone in Monterrey, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 234 kilometers away. Carlos loves gardening, 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.
