Companionship wanted: Ingrid's knitting and a cup of tea
Ingrid lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ingrid, who's 93. Ingrid lives alone in Caxias do Sul, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Ingrid loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
