Could you share an hour a week with Rizky?

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

Malang
I'm writing for my neighbor Rizky, who's 84. Rizky lives alone in Malang, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Rizky loves chess, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        Take care. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

            Sending good thoughts, Kurniawan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

            • Justyna Janina Krupa

              Praying for you, Kurniawan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning.

                Good luck, Kurniawan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Suwon so I could bring a meal. All the best.
