A weekly visit for Deepa, 83, who lives alone in New Delhi
Deepa lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Deepa, who's 83. Deepa lives alone in New Delhi, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Deepa loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

you're not alone, Karthik. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Bekasi!
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Karthik. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning. All the best
