A weekly visit for Renata, 77, who lives alone in São Paulo

I'm writing for my neighbor Renata, who's 77. Renata lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Renata loves crossword puzzles, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
