A weekly visit for Luigi, 90, who lives alone in Rome

Looking for a friendly person in Rome to visit Luigi once a week.

Rome
I'm writing for my neighbor Luigi, who's 90. Luigi lives alone in Rome, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Luigi loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.

          keep going, Sofia. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

            Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Kozhikode!

                Wishing you the best, Sofia. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Rome

                  Hang in there, Sofia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Muzaffarpur
