Friendly visitor needed for an 88-year-old neighbor in Thrissur
Looking for a friendly person in Thrissur to visit Gaurav once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gaurav, who's 88. Gaurav lives alone in Thrissur, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Gaurav loves opera, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Aarti. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hang in there, Aarti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Rooting for you, Aarti. Hope this works out for you.
Sending strength, Aarti. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Thrissur.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
