Could you share an hour a week with Andre?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Andre is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Andre, who's 74. Andre lives alone in Montego Bay, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 570 kilometers away.
Andre loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Michael. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Andre a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
