Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Cartagena
Looking for a friendly person in Cartagena to visit Esteban once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Esteban, who's 76. Esteban lives alone in Cartagena, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Esteban loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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 for reading my story.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Bolívar. I'll ask around and let you know!
