A weekly visit for Antônia, 82, who lives alone in Belo Horizonte
Antônia lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Antônia, who's 82. Antônia lives alone in Belo Horizonte, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Antônia loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Wellington. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 32 people at work.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Stockholm but we're thinking of you.
Good luck, Wellington. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
