Companionship wanted: Sharmin's opera and a cup of tea
Sharmin lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇳 Rajkot, Gujarat, India534 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Sharmin, who's 76. Sharmin lives alone in Rajkot, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Sharmin loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- In person in Rajkot

rooting for you, Mohammad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Stay strong, Mohammad. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 11 people at work. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Riyadh.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 20 people at work.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Kaduna donated after I showed her your page

I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Rajkot.
