Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Rajkot
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Vikas is asking for.
🇮🇳 Rajkot, Gujarat, India896 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Vikas, who's 79. Vikas lives alone in Rajkot, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Vikas loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page!
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

You're not alone, Ashok. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
