Companionship wanted: Snehal's gardening and a cup of tea

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

Mysuru
I'm writing for my neighbor Snehal, who's 76. Snehal lives alone in Mysuru, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 675 kilometers away. Snehal loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

                Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
