Could you share an hour a week with Benoît?
Benoît lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Benoît, who's 85. Benoît lives alone in Marseille, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Benoît loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

Best of luck, Anthony. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Brisbane.
Stay strong, Anthony. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Marseille.
sending strength, Anthony. Get well soon.
Keep going. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning.
