Companionship wanted: Melanie's knitting and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Manchester to visit Melanie once a week.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom339 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Melanie, who's 94. Melanie lives alone in Manchester, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Melanie loves knitting, 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.
Thank you so much.

Good luck. Wishing Melanie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Depok.
Praying for you, Lillian. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Stay strong, Lillian. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
