Companionship wanted: Jose's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Bristol to visit Jose once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jose, who's 75. Jose lives alone in Bristol, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Jose loves cricket, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
Keep going, Jacob. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning. All the best.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Praying for you, Jacob. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Malang.
your post was clear and honest. Love from Asaba.
