Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Pune

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Swati, who's 79. Swati lives alone in Pune, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 883 kilometers away. Swati loves crossword puzzles, 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.

                        • Thinking of you and your family, Divya. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to San Nicolás de los Garza so I could bring a meal.
