A weekly visit for Cristiane, 73, who lives alone in Salvador
Cristiane lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Cristiane, who's 73. Cristiane lives alone in Salvador, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Cristiane loves old films, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, Marcos. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Best of luck, Marcos. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
Sending love, Marcos. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Tel Aviv but we're thinking of you. All the best.
