A weekly visit for Isaiah, 89, who lives alone in Newcastle upon Tyne
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Isaiah is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Isaiah, who's 89. Isaiah lives alone in Newcastle upon Tyne, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Isaiah loves baking, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Gloria. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
