A weekly visit for Jerzy, 92, who lives alone in Katowice
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Jerzy is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jerzy, who's 92. Jerzy lives alone in Katowice, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Jerzy 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.
I hope life is good to you.

best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Katowice
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Katowice
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Katowice
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Embakasi.
you're not alone, Zofia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Stay strong, Zofia. 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 Nakhon Ratchasima.
Wishing you peace, Zofia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Katowice.
Thanks for sharing this, Zofia. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Townsville
