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

I'm writing for my neighbor Meenakshi, who's 82. Meenakshi lives alone in Durgapur, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Meenakshi loves birdwatching, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Reims.
