Could you share an hour a week with Fernando?
Fernando lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fernando, who's 73. Fernando lives alone in Le贸n, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 672 kilometers away.
Fernando loves baking, 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.
