A weekly visit for Vijay, 75, who lives alone in Dwarka

Vijay lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Dwarka
I'm writing for my neighbor Vijay, who's 75. Vijay lives alone in Dwarka, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Vijay loves gardening, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
