Could you share an hour a week with Emilio?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Emilio is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Emilio, who's 80. Emilio lives alone in Guadalajara, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 350 kilometers away.
Emilio loves opera, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Isabel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless!
Keep going, Isabel. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Venice this morning
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Jalisco. I'll ask around and let you know!
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Praying for you, Isabel. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

Good luck, Isabel. Get well soon. Thinking of Guadalajara.
sending good thoughts, Isabel. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

Good luck, Isabel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
sending good thoughts, Isabel. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Guadalajara.
Keep going, Isabel. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from León.
Hang in there, Isabel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Guadalajara.
