A weekly visit for Min-ji, 75, who lives alone in Seoul

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Min-ji is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Min-ji, who's 75. Min-ji lives alone in Seoul, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Min-ji loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • rooting for you, Ji-min. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

    • praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Seoul
