Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Caruaru
Ricardo lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ricardo, who's 72. Ricardo lives alone in Caruaru, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 550 kilometers away.
Ricardo loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Glad we found this place.

praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Take care, Manuela. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
