Companionship wanted: Laiba's gardening and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Laiba is asking for.

Rawalpindi
I'm writing for my neighbor Laiba, who's 72. Laiba lives alone in Rawalpindi, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Laiba loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
