Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Cali

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Manuel is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Manuel, who's 89. Manuel lives alone in Cali, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Manuel loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

  • Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
