Companionship wanted: Edson's cricket and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Edson is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Edson, who's 84. Edson lives alone in Pelotas, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Edson loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
