A weekly visit for Sneha, 83, who lives alone in Mangaluru

I'm writing for my neighbor Sneha, who's 83. Sneha lives alone in Mangaluru, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Sneha loves local history, 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.
