Companionship wanted: Rafael's knitting and a cup of tea

I'm writing for my neighbor Rafael, who's 72. Rafael lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Rafael 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. I hope life is good to you.
