A weekly visit for Nicholas, 81, who lives alone in Mesa

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Nicholas is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nicholas, who's 81. Nicholas lives alone in Mesa, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Nicholas loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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. Glad we found this place.

      Thinking of you and your family, Jonathan. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

        Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mesa.

          So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out

              take care, Jonathan. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
