A weekly visit for Edilene, 89, who lives alone in Ribeirão Preto
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Edilene is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Edilene, who's 89. Edilene lives alone in Ribeirão Preto, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Edilene loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Rooting for you, Bruna. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
