Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Southampton
Jose lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jose, who's 79. Jose lives alone in Southampton, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 843 kilometers away.
Jose loves baking, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
