Chattogram
I'm writing for my neighbor Joy, who's 92. Joy lives alone in Chattogram, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Joy loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Praying for you, Sultana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

    • our local union branch has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them

      • You're not alone, Sultana. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Pittsburgh.

        • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

          • Sending good thoughts, Sultana. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Mohammedia.
