Could you share an hour a week with Jigna?

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

Mangaluru
I'm writing for my neighbor Jigna, who's 82. Jigna lives alone in Mangaluru, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Jigna loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

            wishing you peace, Trupti. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 8 people at work. Greetings from Tehuacán.
