A weekly visit for Nam, 77, who lives alone in Cần Thơ
Nam lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nam, who's 77. Nam lives alone in Cần Thơ, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 866 kilometers away.
Nam loves cricket, 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.
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Đào. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Rooting for you, Đào. Hope the doctors have good news. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Cần Thơ.
So sorry you're going through this, Đào. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Hải Phòng
