A weekly visit for Joaquim, 85, who lives alone in Belém

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Joaquim, who's 85. Joaquim lives alone in Belém, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 436 kilometers away. Joaquim loves cricket, 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. Glad we found this place.
