Could you share an hour a week with Daniela?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Daniela, who's 72. Daniela lives alone in Medellín, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 603 kilometers away. Daniela loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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 for reading my story.

      wishing you the best, Marcos. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
