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

I'm writing for my neighbor Mariana, who's 93. Mariana lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 464 kilometers away.
Mariana 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Tampa but we're thinking of you. Thinking of São Paulo.
shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of São Paulo
Good luck, Heloísa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there, Heloísa. Shared this with my family. Love from Yonkers.
Take care, Heloísa. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of São Paulo.
