Mysuru
I'm writing for my neighbor Ashwin, who's 84. Ashwin lives alone in Mysuru, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Ashwin 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.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Balaji. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Sheffield.

    • thinking of you, Balaji. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.

      • Sending strength, Balaji. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page. Love from Leeds.
