A weekly visit for Dinesh, 72, who lives alone in Leeds
Dinesh lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Dinesh, who's 72. Dinesh lives alone in Leeds, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Dinesh loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Naresh. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Indore
Thinking of you and your family, Naresh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Leeds.
Keep going, Naresh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Rooting for you, Naresh. Wishing Dinesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
