A weekly visit for Simone, 83, who lives alone in Paris

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

Paris
I'm writing for my neighbor Simone, who's 83. Simone lives alone in Paris, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Simone loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

        I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dallas.
