Could you share an hour a week with Praveen?

Looking for a friendly person in Thane to visit Praveen once a week.

Thane
I'm writing for my neighbor Praveen, who's 87. Praveen lives alone in Thane, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Praveen loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

          Keep going, Latha. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Thane.
