Companionship wanted: Krishnan's baking and a cup of tea

Krishnan lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Krishnan, who's 83. Krishnan lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Krishnan loves baking, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Take care. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
