Companionship wanted: Beatriz's baking and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Porto Alegre to visit Beatriz once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Beatriz, who's 76. Beatriz lives alone in Porto Alegre, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Beatriz loves baking, 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. Thank you for reading my story.

      best of luck. Wishing Beatriz a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Porto Alegre.

        You're not alone, Heloísa. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Porto Alegre.

          Take care, Heloísa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dharan

            thinking of you, Heloísa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Lecce so I could bring a meal.
