Companionship wanted: Narong's chess and a cup of tea
Narong lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Narong, who's 80. Narong lives alone in Nakhon Ratchasima, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Narong loves chess, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Nakhon Ratchasima
Keep going, Isaree. Get well soon
Keep going, Isaree. Wishing Narong a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Greetings from New York.
Wishing Narong a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

Hang in there, Isaree. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Stay strong, Isaree. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Nakhon Ratchasima.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
