Could you share an hour a week with Raimundo?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Raimundo is asking for.

Rio de Janeiro
I'm writing for my neighbor Raimundo, who's 85. Raimundo lives alone in Rio de Janeiro, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Raimundo loves opera, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Yonkers but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Yonkers.
