A weekly visit for Carolina, 94, who lives alone in Petrópolis

Looking for a friendly person in Petrópolis to visit Carolina once a week.

Petrópolis
I'm writing for my neighbor Carolina, who's 94. Carolina lives alone in Petrópolis, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Carolina loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
