Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Bandung
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Yanti is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Yanti, who's 76. Yanti lives alone in Bandung, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 668 kilometers away.
Yanti loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. All the best
Sending love, Hani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Hani. Wishing Yanti a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Hani. 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. Take care.
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to A Coruña so I could bring a meal. God bless.
rooting for you, Hani. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Aberdeen so I could bring a meal. All the best
wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Keep going, Hani. Your post was clear and honest.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bandung
you're not alone, Hani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 12 people at work

Stay strong, Hani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Bandung.
