Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Pune

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Dipika, who's 74. Dipika lives alone in Pune, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Dipika loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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 so much.

    Rooting for you, Sameer. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
