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

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Sangeetha, who's 76. Sangeetha lives alone in Nagpur, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Sangeetha loves baking, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best

    • Thinking of you and your family, Sowmya. This could happen to any of us. Take care

      • hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

          • Rooting for you, Sowmya. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
