Could you share an hour a week with Rubel?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rubel is asking for.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,405 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Rubel, who's 75. Rubel lives alone in Dhaka, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Rubel loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Rubina. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Dhaka.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending love, Rubina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Thinking of you, Rubina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Nagpur
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page. Love from Narayanganj.
sending strength, Rubina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope June is when things finally get easier
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
