A weekly visit for Dong, 91, who lives alone in Wollongong
Looking for a friendly person in Wollongong to visit Dong once a week.
🇦🇺 2506, Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia1,148 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Dong, who's 91. Dong lives alone in Wollongong, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 883 kilometers away.
Dong loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Magelang.
rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
Keep going, Xue. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Kolkata so I could bring a meal. God bless
