Companionship wanted: Yong-jun's cricket and a cup of tea

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

Daegu
I'm writing for my neighbor Yong-jun, who's 87. Yong-jun lives alone in Daegu, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Yong-jun loves cricket, 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.

  • You're not alone, Kyung-mi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Kyung-mi. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Nashik

      • Wishing you peace, Kyung-mi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 37 people at work.

        • Hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

          • thinking of you and your family, Kyung-mi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

            • Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick

              • You're not alone, Kyung-mi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Birmingham.

                  I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
