Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in São Paulo
Paulo lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Paulo, who's 74. Paulo lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Paulo loves chess, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Keep going, Mateus. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update!
Good luck, Mateus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of São Paulo.
You're not alone, Mateus. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
