Companionship wanted: Bhavna's gardening and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Bhavna is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bhavna, who's 72. Bhavna lives alone in Tiruchirappalli, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Bhavna loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you. Wishing Bhavna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love, Vikas. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Syracuse.
