A weekly visit for Zahra, 88, who lives alone in Jakarta
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Zahra is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Zahra, who's 88. Zahra lives alone in Jakarta, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Zahra loves gardening, 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.
Glad we found this place.

hope it all works out, Rina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Jakarta.
Rooting for you, Rina. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Bandung.
Thinking of you and your family, Rina. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
