A weekly visit for Miles, 85, who lives alone in Newport
Looking for a friendly person in Newport to visit Miles once a week.
🇬🇧 Newport, Wales, United Kingdom607 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Miles, who's 85. Miles lives alone in Newport, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Miles loves opera, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Kolkata this morning. Thinking of Newport.
Hang in there, Mateo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
You're not alone, Mateo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Thiruvananthapuram so I could bring a meal.
