Alan Surry wants to help a friend who gave him support after his wife diedAlan Surry, 56, a self-employed IT engineer from Thurrock, Essex, was recently widowed. He managed to get through this difficult time with help from a close friend of the family, Toni, who he says, “was an absolute rock”. “Our best friend has missed a few chances in life and at the age of 39 is looking to buy her first home,” he says. Alan, who has no children, is financially comfortable and owns his home outright. He could afford to help Toni to buy a property, but he says that she refuses to accept any gifts or charity so he wants to know what other options he may have.
