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

I'm writing for my neighbor Mercedes, who's 79. Mercedes lives alone in Mexicali, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 281 kilometers away.
Mercedes loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Lourdes. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Take care, Lourdes. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Mexicali.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kanpur this morning. Blessings.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Quezon City.
