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

I'm writing for my neighbor Manoel, who's 78. Manoel lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Manoel loves cricket, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Maria. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
