Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Rio de Janeiro
Débora lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Débora, who's 92. Débora lives alone in Rio de Janeiro, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 270 kilometers away.
Débora loves local history, 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 so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Cláudia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
sending love, Cláudia. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from San Diego
