Companionship wanted: Vishal's knitting and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Vishal, who's 72. Vishal lives alone in Nizamabad, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Vishal loves knitting, 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. Thank you so much.

    Keep going. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

      hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Nizamabad.

      • You're not alone, Pranav. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless

        • Rooting for you. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
