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

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

Da Nang
I'm writing for my neighbor Thu, who's 80. Thu lives alone in Da Nang, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 364 kilometers away. Thu loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Rooting for you, Thủy. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
