Companionship wanted: João's chess and a cup of tea
João lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇧🇷 Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil85 views
I'm writing for my neighbor João, who's 79. João lives alone in Niterói, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
João loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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 hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Diego
