Companionship wanted: Hye-jin's knitting and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Hye-jin is asking for.
🇰🇷 13451, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, South Korea1,110 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Hye-jin, who's 79. Hye-jin lives alone in Seongnam, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 686 kilometers away.
Hye-jin loves knitting, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Yu-na. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Stay strong, Yu-na. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Yu-na. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Aswan.
shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Coyoacán but we're thinking of you. Take care
thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Rooting for you, Yu-na. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Seongnam.
