A weekly visit for José, 79, who lives alone in Ribeirão Preto
José lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor José, who's 79. José lives alone in Ribeirão Preto, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 353 kilometers away.
José loves chess, 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.
I hope life is good to you.
