Companionship wanted: Vino's local history and a cup of tea
Vino lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇩 Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia496 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Vino, who's 74. Vino lives alone in Surakarta, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Vino loves local history, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Bunga. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 7 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Philadelphia
