Twelve thousand contacts. Nobody to sign the form.

Beatriz Portela opens doors for half of Europe. She is
forty-seven, she is excellent at her profession, and on the
morning she needed one person to sign her hospital discharge
papers she made five phone calls, found no one, and hired a
stranger at seventy-five euros a shift.

The stranger gave her a card with a name on it.

What followed was twenty-two conversations of fifteen minutes
each — and one uncomfortable discovery: she did not have a
scheduling problem, a distance problem, or a bad-luck problem.
She had built this.

"Loneliness is almost never a lack of people.
It's a lack of a table."
