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

I'm writing for my neighbor João, who's 80. João lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
João loves baking, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Sônia. Looking forward to the next update
So sorry you're going through this, Sônia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of São Paulo.
Rooting for you, Sônia. Get well soon.
