Thane

I'm writing for my neighbor Vani, who's 86. Vani lives alone in Thane, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Vani loves knitting, 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. Thank you for reading my story.

effort: 1 hour a week
format: In person in Thane
skills: kindness, patience
