Reader wanted...
...for 34-year-old blind man living in Nunhead, SE15. Since I became unable to read 15 years ago, there has been a huge empty space in my life. I got much pleasure from reading, and I would love to find someone to read for me, either once or twice a week in my home in Nunhead. Any possible payments can be discussed on the first meeting.
...
I look foward to any response,
Kind regards,
Andrew Bailey
The BBC reports that his carer Bradley Baxter-Hassell placed one advert at Goldsmiths University and the other, which you see above, at Foyles on the South Bank. Bailey read "American Studies at Northampton University, [and] has about 100 books he would like to read," according to the broadcaster.
Bailey suffers from Friedreich's ataxia – a degenerative disease that damages the nervous system and causes problems with movement. He began using a wheelchair aged 11 and was registered blind five years ago – he has difficulty hearing and speaking, now needing round-the-clock care, according to the BBC.
It makes me feel very good really. There are nice people out there.
