English gentleman in permanent residence of a care home in El Campello who has no friends nor family to visit him or talk with him.     I have been helping him over the last couple of years as a volunteer with the Help of Denia & Marina Alta charity, but our area of cover only goes as far south as Calpe.    It appears that there is no similar charity organisation in the El Campello area, or if there is, I cannot find it!

He is the only English resident in the care home.

He has been there for nearly two years now.

Is there any organisation or any person or people that would be willing to visit once in a while?    Do the odd bit of shopping for him (he cannot go out independantly, is mostly wheelchair bound), drop off the occasional freebie news paper?

I hope there are people  - or even people who know people, that can help with this.

Many thanks.

V.W.P.    Denia.

Hello Val1950

  I really hope some compassionate person, with a car ,reads your post, wherever they live and will call on this gentleman, even for half an hour or so....he must be so lonely.

I dont have a car & much as I would like to, I can't get to El Campello.

http://www.elcampello.es/index.php?s=playas&i=en  This is the town hall  in El Campello, maybe they can suggest someone or some organisation that can help...I do hope so.

Cheers

This added on..... 14/11,

        I will add that apart from this post I also sent a PM offering to send something by post to this gentleman, books, cards etc. I suggested   that Martyn1968  send a PM  - for details re his offer of a visit.

 It would have been nice to have  had some kind of acknowledgement from the OP , even if the help wasn't wanted!

Hello Martyn1986

 Send a PM to VAL1950 who knows this gentleman & posted the story & his  hopes for a friendly visitor. She can tell you where he is living. I hope you find him and can bring some cheer to his day.

Cheers

That’s brilliant Martyn, what a lovely gesture from you. I would do the same if I was over in Spain, but unfortunately I’m over here in Blighty, soaking up the rain….☹️

Hi.

I live in Villajoyosa and would be happy to visit the gentleman. It is only a short tram ride away.
