A weekly visit for Rasika, 90, who lives alone in Colombo

Looking for a friendly person in Colombo to visit Rasika once a week.

Colombo
I'm writing for my neighbor Rasika, who's 90. Rasika lives alone in Colombo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Rasika loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

            Sending good thoughts, Jagath. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Huntsville
