A weekly visit for Ngọc, 84, who lives alone in Hồ Chí Minh City

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

Hồ Chí Minh City
I'm writing for my neighbor Ngọc, who's 84. Ngọc lives alone in Hồ Chí Minh City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 827 kilometers away. Ngọc loves baking, 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.

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

                        Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

                            Hang in there, Hà. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
