Friendly visitor needed for an 85-year-old neighbor in Sheffield
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Brandon is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Brandon, who's 85. Brandon lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 539 kilometers away.
Brandon loves baking, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Austin but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Sheffield
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sheffield.
