A weekly visit for Yash, 87, who lives alone in Pune
Yash lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Yash, who's 87. Yash lives alone in Pune, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 762 kilometers away.
Yash loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone, Rajesh. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best!
