Looking for a friendly person in Campinas to visit José once a week.

Campinas
I'm writing for my neighbor José, who's 74. José lives alone in Campinas, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 597 kilometers away. José loves crossword puzzles, 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.

  • You're not alone, Antônio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
