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

I'm writing for my neighbor Fernanda, who's 87. Fernanda lives alone in Guarulhos, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Fernanda 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope things get better soon, Maurício. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Hang in there, Maurício. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Rajkot.
Hope things get better soon, Maurício. Wishing Fernanda a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Stay strong. Hope you get there. After 16 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Guarulhos.
You're not alone, Maurício. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
