A weekly visit for Łukasz, 85, who lives alone in Warsaw

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Łukasz, who's 85. Łukasz lives alone in Warsaw, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Łukasz loves local history, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
