A weekly visit for Pedro, 72, who lives alone in Guarulhos

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

Guarulhos
I'm writing for my neighbor Pedro, who's 72. Pedro lives alone in Guarulhos, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Pedro loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
