Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Rio de Janeiro
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 79. Ricardo lives alone in Rio de Janeiro, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Ricardo loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Letícia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
