A weekly visit for Yogesh, 83, who lives alone in Thane

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Yogesh is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Yogesh, who's 83. Yogesh lives alone in Thane, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 662 kilometers away. Yogesh loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
