Companionship wanted: Camille's cricket and a cup of tea
Camille lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Camille, who's 79. Camille lives alone in Ottawa, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Camille loves cricket, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

so sorry you're going through this. Wishing Camille a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Ottawa.
Sending good thoughts, Yann. Wishing Camille a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
