Could you share an hour a week with Jordan?

Jordan lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jordan, who's 74. Jordan lives alone in London, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Jordan loves birdwatching, 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. Thank you so much.

      you're not alone, Noah. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

      • you're not alone, Noah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

        • Hope it all works out, Noah. Get well soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Wishing you peace, Noah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Boulogne-Billancourt but we're thinking of you.

            • Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

              • Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope January is when things finally get easier. All the best.

                • Thinking of you and your family, Noah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

                  • Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of London.

                    • you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
