Companionship wanted: Valentin's knitting and a cup of tea
Valentin lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇫🇷 Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France, France190 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Valentin, who's 87. Valentin lives alone in Boulogne-Billancourt, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Valentin loves knitting, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you
Hope things get better soon, Quentin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt
Wishing Valentin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
