A weekly visit for Smit, 74, who lives alone in Coimbatore
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Smit is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Smit, who's 74. Smit lives alone in Coimbatore, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Smit loves chess, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Smit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update.
