Companionship wanted: Otávio's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Rio de Janeiro to visit Otávio once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Otávio, who's 77. Otávio lives alone in Rio de Janeiro, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 400 kilometers away.
Otávio loves cricket, 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.

Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
