Companionship wanted: Geetha's opera and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Coimbatore to visit Geetha once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Geetha, who's 84. Geetha lives alone in Coimbatore, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Geetha loves opera, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Thinking of you, Indira. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Lagos

      Praying for you, Indira. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Nairobi.

          Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

            I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bandung
