Could you share an hour a week with Anoma?
Anoma lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka706 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Anoma, who's 83. Anoma lives alone in Colombo, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Anoma loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Anoma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Ahmedabad.
Hope things get better soon, Kavindi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
