A weekly visit for Anjali, 74, who lives alone in Nagpur

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Anjali is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Anjali, who's 74. Anjali lives alone in Nagpur, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Anjali loves birdwatching, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Our local church has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them.

    • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

      • Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
