Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in São Paulo
Looking for a friendly person in São Paulo to visit Felipe once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Felipe, who's 76. Felipe lives alone in São Paulo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Felipe loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Stay strong, Sônia. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
