Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Chennai
Anand lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India222 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Anand, who's 86. Anand lives alone in Chennai, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Anand loves gardening, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Kunal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Bacolod.
