Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Birmingham
Looking for a friendly person in Birmingham to visit Craig once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Craig, who's 86. Craig lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 407 kilometers away.
Craig loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Liam. Get well soon. Love from Fresno.
Hope it all works out, Liam. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Narayanganj
Sending strength, Liam. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.

Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Birmingham
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Liam. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. God bless

thanks for sharing this. Wishing Craig a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. Blessings!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Birmingham
Hope it all works out, Liam. This could happen to any of us!
