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

I'm writing for my neighbor Suresh, who's 72. Suresh lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Suresh loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Ishita. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
wishing you the best, Ishita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Birmingham
