I'm writing for my neighbor Cristiane, who's 94. Cristiane lives alone in Niterói, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Cristiane loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
