Companionship wanted: Shawn's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Birmingham to visit Shawn once a week.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,066 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Shawn, who's 93. Shawn lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Shawn loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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 for reading my story.

Stay strong, Cynthia. Get well soon. Love from Cairns.
Thinking of you, Cynthia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
wishing you peace, Cynthia. Get well soon. Love from Jakarta!
