Companionship wanted: Jaxon's chess and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Jaxon is asking for.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom529 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Jaxon, who's 79. Jaxon lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Jaxon loves chess, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Aaliyah. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you
Best of luck, Aaliyah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
