A weekly visit for Olivier, 86, who lives alone in Paris

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Olivier is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Olivier, who's 86. Olivier lives alone in Paris, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 848 kilometers away. Olivier loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. I hope life is good to you.
