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

I'm writing for my neighbor Esperanza, who's 82. Esperanza lives alone in Iztapalapa, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Esperanza loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon, Ximena. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Ximena. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Iztapalapa.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Kumasi.

Wishing you the best, Ximena. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
Praying for you, Ximena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Stellenbosch
get well soon. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

Stay strong, Ximena. Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
