Companionship wanted: Renata's old films and a cup of tea

Renata lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Renata, who's 80. Renata lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 227 kilometers away. Renata loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Wishing you the best. Wishing Renata a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of São Paulo

    • thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

      • best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of São Paulo
