Companionship wanted: Jocelyn's baking and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Manchester to visit Jocelyn once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jocelyn, who's 72. Jocelyn lives alone in Manchester, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 886 kilometers away.
Jocelyn loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Manchester.
Hang in there, Leo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
