Could you share an hour a week with Minh?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Minh is asking for.

Hồ Chí Minh City
I'm writing for my neighbor Minh, who's 72. Minh lives alone in Hồ Chí Minh City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Minh loves crossword puzzles, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Minh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up.

    • Thinking of you and your family, Giang. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

      • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

        • rooting for you, Giang. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

          • Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
