Could you share an hour a week with Bruna?

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

Petr贸polis
I'm writing for my neighbor Bruna, who's 86. Bruna lives alone in Petr贸polis, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Bruna loves birdwatching, 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Manila.

      Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Shinjuku.
