A weekly visit for Salim, 74, who lives alone in Paris

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

Paris
I'm writing for my neighbor Salim, who's 74. Salim lives alone in Paris, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Salim loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Paris.

        Wishing you the best, Manal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Antonio.

          thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Epe
