Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Tlaquepaque
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Fernanda is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fernanda, who's 78. Fernanda lives alone in Tlaquepaque, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Fernanda loves local history, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Manuel. Shared it with a few friends.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Puebla.
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Durham so I could bring a meal!
Thanks for sharing this, Manuel. This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Tlaquepaque.
thanks for sharing this, Manuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Best of luck, Manuel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Ikeja.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Catania.
Sending strength, Manuel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
