Friendly visitor needed for an 84-year-old neighbor in Sheffield
Sharmila lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sharmila, who's 84. Sharmila lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Sharmila loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 hope life is good to you.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Bappy. Get well soon. Please keep us posted.
