Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Athens
Looking for a friendly person in Athens to visit Vangelis once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Vangelis, who's 89. Vangelis lives alone in Athens, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Vangelis 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Port Harcourt.
get well soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Dodoma.
you're not alone, Alexandros. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 14 people at work. Take care.

Praying for you, Alexandros. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal. God bless.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Khon Kaen.
