Friendly visitor needed for an 83-year-old neighbor in Madurai

Manasi lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Manasi, who's 83. Manasi lives alone in Madurai, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Manasi loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Sending strength, Trupti. 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. God bless.

      Hope things get better soon. Wishing Manasi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • Camila Josiane Medeiros

        Thinking of you and your family, Trupti. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Duluth donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

        • Heloísa Priscila Paiva

          Stay strong, Trupti. Get well soon. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from London.

            Good luck. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
