A weekly visit for Elias, 88, who lives alone in Sheffield
Looking for a friendly person in Sheffield to visit Elias once a week.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom708 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Elias, who's 88. Elias lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Elias loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Victoria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Guadalajara.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Sheffield
Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mangaluru.
sending love, Victoria. Shared it with a few friends.
Stay strong, Victoria. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
