Ribeirão Preto

I'm writing for my neighbor Henrique, who's 92. Henrique lives alone in Ribeirão Preto, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 326 kilometers away. Henrique loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

effort: 1 hour a week
format: In person in Ribeirão Preto
skills: kindness, patience
