Could you share an hour a week with Julia?
Julia lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Julia, who's 83. Julia lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Julia loves cricket, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mandurah.
thinking of you and your family, Brooklyn. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Łódź
hang in there. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Los Angeles!
Sending strength, Brooklyn. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted.
rooting for you, Brooklyn. Wishing Julia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
