Could you share an hour a week with Hossain?
Hossain lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hossain, who's 86. Hossain lives alone in Howrah, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Hossain loves cricket, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Babu. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Marrakesh.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Thane.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Kediri but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Kediri
so sorry you're going through this, Babu. Hope this works out for you. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
