Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in Muzaffarpur
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Shafiq is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Shafiq, who's 94. Shafiq lives alone in Muzaffarpur, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 223 kilometers away.
Shafiq loves old films, 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.

Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Muzaffarpur.
Wishing Shafiq a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Keep going, Rafiq. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
