Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Hubballi
Rekha lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rekha, who's 86. Rekha lives alone in Hubballi, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 839 kilometers away.
Rekha loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Wrocław!
Wishing you the best, Rahul. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Hubballi.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from London.
