I'm writing for my neighbor Gaurav, who's 77. Gaurav lives alone in Nagpur, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 622 kilometers away. Gaurav loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Sending good thoughts, Manisha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

    • Good luck, Manisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

      • Sending good thoughts, Manisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page!

        • Sending love, Manisha. Looking forward to the next update.

          • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

            • Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Boulogne-Billancourt so I could bring a meal. All the best.
