Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in Cox's Bazar
Ratul lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ratul, who's 94. Ratul lives alone in Cox's Bazar, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Ratul loves knitting, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Dipu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. Love from Corpus Christi
