Friendly visitor needed for an 88-year-old neighbor in Dehiwala

Oshadi lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Dehiwala
I'm writing for my neighbor Oshadi, who's 88. Oshadi lives alone in Dehiwala, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Oshadi loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
