Friendly visitor needed for an 85-year-old neighbor in Varanasi
Naveen lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇳 Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India372 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Naveen, who's 85. Naveen lives alone in Varanasi, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Naveen loves chess, 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.
Glad we found this place.

best of luck, Tarun. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
hope things get better soon, Tarun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Karachi!
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
