Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Guarulhos
Joaquim lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Joaquim, who's 76. Joaquim lives alone in Guarulhos, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Joaquim loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best, Manuela. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
