Companionship wanted: Mangesh's chess and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Mangesh is asking for.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India157 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Mangesh, who's 91. Mangesh lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Mangesh loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
