A weekly visit for Farhana, 82, who lives alone in Mumbai
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Farhana is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Farhana, who's 82. Farhana lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Farhana loves knitting, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
