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

Looking for a friendly person in Coyoacán to visit Valentina once a week.

Coyoacán
I'm writing for my neighbor Valentina, who's 79. Valentina lives alone in Coyoacán, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Valentina loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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 things get better soon, Francisco. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Petrópolis but we're thinking of you
