Companionship wanted: Jackson's gardening and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Birmingham to visit Jackson once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jackson, who's 84. Jackson lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Jackson loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Keep going, Todd. Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care, Todd. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
You're not alone, Todd. Your post was clear and honest
Hope things get better soon, Todd. This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kumasi
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Love from Gwagwalada.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this, Todd. Shared it with a few friends.
Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Birmingham.
So sorry you're going through this, Todd. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Multan but we're thinking of you.
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Rooting for you, Todd. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Birmingham
Wishing you peace, Todd. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Todd. Get well soon. Take care.
