Could you share an hour a week with Anitha?
Looking for a friendly person in Kolkata to visit Anitha once a week.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India125 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Anitha, who's 84. Anitha lives alone in Kolkata, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Anitha loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Swetha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Good luck, Swetha. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Take care, Swetha. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
