Could you share an hour a week with Akash?
Looking for a friendly person in London to visit Akash once a week.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom772 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Akash, who's 73. Akash lives alone in London, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Akash loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- In person in London
- skills
- kindness, patience

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Çankaya.
so sorry you're going through this, Rani. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Badagry.
good luck, Rani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Dallas!
