Could you share an hour a week with Dipesh?

Dipesh lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Lalitpur
I'm writing for my neighbor Dipesh, who's 80. Dipesh lives alone in Lalitpur, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Dipesh loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

  • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Thinking of Lalitpur

    • take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.

      • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

        • stay strong, Sagar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

          • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Love from Arusha
