Could you share an hour a week with Marie?

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

Munich
I'm writing for my neighbor Marie, who's 94. Marie lives alone in Munich, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Marie loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

          sending strength, Maximilian. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Munich.
