A weekly visit for Tomasz, 84, who lives alone in Kraków
Tomasz lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇵🇱 Kraków, Lesser Poland, Poland310 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Tomasz, who's 84. Tomasz lives alone in Kraków, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 746 kilometers away.
Tomasz loves opera, 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.
Glad we found this place.

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

hope things get better soon, Karolina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Praying for you, Karolina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck, Karolina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care!
Sending good thoughts, Karolina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
