Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Mumbai

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Ravi is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ravi, who's 86. Ravi lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Ravi loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

  • Wishing you the best, Janani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out

    • Sending strength, Janani. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Love from Santa Fe.

      • Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Detroit.
