A weekly visit for Jacques, 74, who lives alone in Rennes
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Jacques is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jacques, who's 74. Jacques lives alone in Rennes, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 669 kilometers away.
Jacques loves birdwatching, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Rennes.
Thanks for sharing this, Pauline. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Málaga donated after I showed her your page. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family, Pauline. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Surabaya.

You're not alone, Pauline. Shared this with my family. Love from Semarang
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Rennes.
