A weekly visit for Nicolas, 93, who lives alone in Lille

Nicolas lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nicolas, who's 93. Nicolas lives alone in Lille, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Nicolas loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

  • Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

    • Praying for you. Get well soon. Greetings from Lagos.

        Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Austin.
