Gwangju
I'm writing for my neighbor Ye-eun, who's 88. Ye-eun lives alone in Gwangju, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Ye-eun loves birdwatching, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Sending good thoughts, Young-ho. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Fort Worth so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Gwangju.
