A weekly visit for Gauri, 84, who lives alone in Pune
Looking for a friendly person in Pune to visit Gauri once a week.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India246 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Gauri, who's 84. Gauri lives alone in Pune, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 434 kilometers away.
Gauri loves chess, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Pune
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope things get better soon, Aniket. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Rooting for you, Aniket. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together
