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

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Vandana, who's 73. Vandana lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Vandana loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Glad we found this place.

  • Sending strength, Komal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
