Companionship wanted: Fang's chess and a cup of tea
Fang lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States480 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Fang, who's 81. Fang lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Fang loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 strength, Shu. Shared this with my family
wishing Fang a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Good luck. Wishing Fang a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Bang Khen so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles
Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles.
get well soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
