A weekly visit for Mateus, 80, who lives alone in Contagem
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Mateus is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mateus, who's 80. Mateus lives alone in Contagem, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Mateus loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Good luck, Roberto. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
hope things get better soon, Roberto. Shared this with my family. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Love from Bandung
