Friendly visitor needed for an 88-year-old neighbor in La Plata
Looking for a friendly person in La Plata to visit Óscar once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Óscar, who's 88. Óscar lives alone in La Plata, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 467 kilometers away.
Óscar loves birdwatching, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Ignacio. Your post was clear and honest.
hang in there. Hope this works out for you
Hope it all works out, Ignacio. Get well soon. Don't give up. Love from Los Angeles.
Your post was clear and honest. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of La Plata.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending love, Ignacio. Wishing Óscar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
