A weekly visit for Chae-won, 81, who lives alone in Gangnam
Chae-won lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Chae-won, who's 81. Chae-won lives alone in Gangnam, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 889 kilometers away.
Chae-won loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending love, Ye-eun. Wishing Chae-won a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

Take care, Ye-eun. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
