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!
