A weekly visit for Ratna, 85, who lives alone in Jakarta Barat
Ratna lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ratna, who's 85. Ratna lives alone in Jakarta Barat, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 276 kilometers away.
Ratna loves chess, 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.
Thank you so much.

sending love, Mega. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
take care. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you, Mega. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Jakarta Barat
Keep going, Mega. Shared this with my family. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Praying for you, Mega. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Half-Way Tree.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Best of luck, Mega. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Rooting for you, Mega. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Galway so I could bring a meal. Love from Jakarta Barat.
Rooting for you, Mega. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Take care
gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Frankfurt.
Sending love, Mega. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Hubballi
So sorry you're going through this, Mega. Looking forward to the next update. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything
