A weekly visit for Lipi, 78, who lives alone in Noida
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Lipi is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lipi, who's 78. Lipi lives alone in Noida, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 621 kilometers away.
Lipi loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Salvador.
hope it all works out, Hossain. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Chicago
thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Nagpur.
Stay strong, Hossain. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
