Companionship wanted: Feng's local history and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Feng is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Feng, who's 93. Feng lives alone in Tacoma, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 683 kilometers away.
Feng loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
