A weekly visit for Gustavo, 84, who lives alone in São Paulo

Gustavo lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gustavo, who's 84. Gustavo lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 460 kilometers away. Gustavo loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

              Thinking of you, Bruna. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Warsaw donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
