A weekly visit for Uma, 81, who lives alone in Kozhikode
Uma lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Uma, who's 81. Uma lives alone in Kozhikode, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Uma loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Praveen. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
