Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Kota
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Yamini is asking for.
🇮🇳 Kota, Rajasthan, India1,673 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Yamini, who's 74. Yamini lives alone in Kota, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Yamini loves chess, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Poznań!
You're not alone, Arjun. Wishing Yamini a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Take care

So sorry you're going through this, Arjun. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 10 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kozhikode.
So sorry you're going through this, Arjun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
