Companionship wanted: Khoa's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Oakland to visit Khoa once a week.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States904 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Khoa, who's 91. Khoa lives alone in Oakland, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Khoa loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

praying for you, Nhân. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
take care, Nhân. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Toulon.
Hang in there, Nhân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Nhân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Nhân. Hope this works out for you.
You're not alone, Nhân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
you're not alone. Get well soon. My neighbor in Bakersfield donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong, Nhân. Hope you get there
Sending love, Nhân. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Oakland
Thanks for sharing this, Nhân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
