A weekly visit for Gabriel, 79, who lives alone in Sheffield
Looking for a friendly person in Sheffield to visit Gabriel once a week.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom823 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Gabriel, who's 79. Gabriel lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Gabriel loves birdwatching, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending love, Addison. Get well soon. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Hope it all works out, Addison. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 26 people at work. God bless
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal.
Good luck, Addison. This could happen to any of us. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope it all works out, Addison. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Addison. Hope you get there. Take care
Good luck, Addison. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Sheffield.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Sheffield.
rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Sheffield
Hang in there, Addison. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Bangkok.
Best of luck. Wishing Gabriel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 17 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
