Companionship wanted: Ji-ho's knitting and a cup of tea

Ji-ho lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Gangnam
I'm writing for my neighbor Ji-ho, who's 78. Ji-ho lives alone in Gangnam, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Ji-ho 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Best of luck, Byung-hun. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Petrópolis but we're thinking of you.
