A weekly visit for Fatema, 91, who lives alone in Jessore

Fatema lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Jessore
I'm writing for my neighbor Fatema, who's 91. Fatema lives alone in Jessore, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Fatema loves crossword puzzles, 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
