Companionship wanted: Piper's knitting and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Sheffield to visit Piper once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Piper, who's 79. Piper lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Piper loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

so sorry you're going through this, Oliver. Get well soon.
Sending strength, Oliver. Hope the doctors have good news
Sending love, Oliver. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending love, Oliver. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
