Could you share an hour a week with Thanh?

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

Cầu Giấy
I'm writing for my neighbor Thanh, who's 82. Thanh lives alone in Cầu Giấy, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Thanh loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

      Stay strong, Quyên. This could happen to any of us.

        Sending good thoughts, Quyên. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
