Companionship wanted: Pranjal's chess and a cup of tea
Pranjal lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India766 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Pranjal, who's 83. Pranjal lives alone in Pune, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Pranjal loves chess, 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.

This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.
