A 90-year-old man who spends most of his days alone has thanked a community group for making the Covid crisis easier to get through.
John Lee from Navan said his life has changed since contacting AgeWell, a programme which supports older people living in Co Meath.
The pensioner sought help in 2018 from the care co-ordination programme after the death of his wife and then his sister. "After my wife passed away, my sister then died, I had no one really.
I had to get help. Because I felt my life was pointless at this stage. I felt there was nobody there and when you get to that point you have to talk to someone," he explained.
