A weekly visit for Shreya, 88, who lives alone in Chennai
Shreya lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Shreya, who's 88. Shreya lives alone in Chennai, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Shreya loves gardening, 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 so much.

Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Bellevue but we're thinking of you!
Hang in there, Ketki. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in New Delhi but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength, Ketki. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
