A weekly visit for Nicolás, 73, who lives alone in Columbus

I'm writing for my neighbor Nicolás, who's 73. Nicolás lives alone in Columbus, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Nicolás loves chess, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
