Companionship wanted: Linh's birdwatching and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Linh, who's 85. Linh lives alone in Thủ Đức, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Linh loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

      Hope it all works out, Diệp. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Breda.

      • Sending good thoughts, Diệp. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
