A weekly visit for Edson, 88, who lives alone in Fortaleza
Edson lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Edson, who's 88. Edson lives alone in Fortaleza, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 213 kilometers away.
Edson loves old films, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Stay strong, Gabriel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Girona this morning!
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Thrissur
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Faisalabad!
