A weekly visit for Luiz, 79, who lives alone in São Paulo

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Luiz is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Luiz, who's 79. Luiz lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Luiz loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

      • Sending love, Bianca. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.

        • Stay strong, Bianca. 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.

          • Take care, Bianca. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
