Companionship wanted: Radha's opera and a cup of tea

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

Rohini
I'm writing for my neighbor Radha, who's 73. Radha lives alone in Rohini, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Radha loves opera, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Good luck, Rekha. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Praying for you, Rekha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Enugu.

      • Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Zapopan.

        • Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Rohini.

          • Hope things get better soon, Rekha. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
