Companionship wanted: Francisco's gardening and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Niterói to visit Francisco once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Francisco, who's 93. Francisco lives alone in Niterói, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Francisco loves gardening, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Leonardo. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Good luck, Leonardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Rooting for you, Leonardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Siliguri
