A weekly visit for Maliha, 88, who lives alone in Varanasi
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Maliha is asking for.
🇮🇳 Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India711 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Maliha, who's 88. Maliha lives alone in Varanasi, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Maliha loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Varanasi!
