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

I'm writing for my neighbor Mateo, who's 86. Mateo lives alone in Fresno, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 336 kilometers away.
Mateo loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Tema.
Good luck, Ellie. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 22 people at work.
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 16 people at work
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless!
Thanks for sharing this, Ellie. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Hồ Chà Minh City donated after I showed her your page.
