Could you share an hour a week with Arun?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Arun is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Arun, who's 87. Arun lives alone in Thane, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Arun loves cricket, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Meenakshi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Thane.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jimma.
