Companionship wanted: Randall's old films and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Randall is asking for.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom839 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Randall, who's 90. Randall lives alone in Leeds, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Randall loves old films, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Harold. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you, Harold. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
You're not alone, Harold. Get well soon. My neighbor in Syracuse donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there. Wishing Randall a smooth procedure and a full recovery!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
