A weekly visit for Tommaso, 79, who lives alone in Catania
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Tommaso is asking for.
🇮🇹 Catania, Sicily, Italy681 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Tommaso, who's 79. Tommaso lives alone in Catania, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 850 kilometers away.
Tommaso loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Dario. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Catania.
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Praying for you, Dario. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings

So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
