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

I'm writing for my neighbor Isabel, who's 77. Isabel lives alone in Springfield, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Isabel loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Adriana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Monterrey.
Wishing you the best, Adriana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Praying for you, Adriana. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Cardiff so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Adriana. I hope things turn around soon. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Springfield!
