A weekly visit for Thanasis, 73, who lives alone in Athens

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Thanasis, who's 73. Thanasis lives alone in Athens, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 360 kilometers away. Thanasis loves chess, 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. I hope life is good to you.
