A weekly visit for Giovana, 77, who lives alone in Niterói

Looking for a friendly person in Niterói to visit Giovana once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Giovana, who's 77. Giovana lives alone in Niterói, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 456 kilometers away. Giovana loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
