Could you share an hour a week with Sanjay?

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

Bhaktapur
I'm writing for my neighbor Sanjay, who's 78. Sanjay lives alone in Bhaktapur, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Sanjay loves old films, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

                  It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Brampton.
