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

I'm writing for my neighbor Márcio, who's 86. Márcio lives alone in Contagem, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 792 kilometers away.
Márcio loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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 hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Agra donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Contagem.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 32 people at work
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
thanks for sharing this, Amanda. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Durgapur.
Thinking of you, Amanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
