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

I'm writing for my neighbor Sathi, who's 94. Sathi lives alone in Salem, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Sathi loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Dipu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from London
