Companionship wanted: Rafael's local history and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rafael is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rafael, who's 92. Rafael lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Rafael loves local history, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Viviane. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you the best, Viviane. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
