Companionship wanted: Dinesh's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Prayagraj to visit Dinesh once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Dinesh, who's 74. Dinesh lives alone in Prayagraj, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Dinesh loves cricket, 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.

keep going, Divya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you, Divya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Syracuse so I could bring a meal
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Kadıköy.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
sending good thoughts, Divya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Take care, Divya. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Divya. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. After 23 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Istanbul.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Take care, Divya. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Laval donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
wishing Dinesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Prayagraj
