Could you share an hour a week with Sachin?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Sachin is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sachin, who's 78. Sachin lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Sachin loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

    Amazing support system

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    Delivered on promises

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
