Caxias do Sul
I'm writing for my neighbor Francisco, who's 85. Francisco lives alone in Caxias do Sul, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 734 kilometers away. Francisco loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
