Friendly visitor needed for an 84-year-old neighbor in Biratnagar
Kalpana lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇳🇵 Biratnagar, Koshi, Nepal1,698 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kalpana, who's 84. Kalpana lives alone in Biratnagar, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 488 kilometers away.
Kalpana 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Looking forward to the next update. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
rooting for you, Padam. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Half-Way Tree
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Kharkiv.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Badagry.
Hang in there, Padam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Hang in there, Padam. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Muzaffarpur
Sending love, Padam. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Best of luck, Padam. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
