Friendly visitor needed for a 91-year-old neighbor in Bilbao
Looking for a friendly person in Bilbao to visit Carlos once a week.
🇪🇸 Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain324 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Carlos, who's 91. Carlos lives alone in Bilbao, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Carlos loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Gerardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bilbao.
Wishing you peace, Gerardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Wishing Carlos a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 32 people at work. All the best.
Take care, Gerardo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Santa Rosa.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Bilbao
