A weekly visit for Lertchai, 73, who lives alone in Khon Kaen
Lertchai lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lertchai, who's 73. Lertchai lives alone in Khon Kaen, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Lertchai loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Sending love. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Sydney donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
hope things get better soon, Manee. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
You're not alone, Manee. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
You're not alone, Manee. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 25 people at work. Greetings from Milan.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Khon Kaen. I'll ask around and let you know.
Best of luck, Manee. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
thanks for sharing this, Manee. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Good luck, Manee. Hope you get there. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Khon Kaen.
