Companionship wanted: Elsa's chess and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Jakarta to visit Elsa once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Elsa, who's 84. Elsa lives alone in Jakarta, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 789 kilometers away.
Elsa loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

I live about 3 km from Jakarta. I can help at the weekend, tell me what you need. Flexible on timing.

This could happen to any of us. Love from Tarragona
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning. Love from Makati.
