Could you share an hour a week with Elaine?
Elaine lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Elaine, who's 73. Elaine lives alone in Duque de Caxias, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Elaine loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bergamo
