Friendly visitor needed for a 90-year-old neighbor in Curitiba

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Flávio is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Flávio, who's 90. Flávio lives alone in Curitiba, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Flávio loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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 so much.

      hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Caruaru.
