Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Medellín
Looking for a friendly person in Medellín to visit Beatriz once a week.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia2,055 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Beatriz, who's 75. Beatriz lives alone in Medellín, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Beatriz loves gardening, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
