Friendly visitor needed for a 77-year-old neighbor in Campinas
Renato lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Renato, who's 77. Renato lives alone in Campinas, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 831 kilometers away.
Renato loves knitting, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
