Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Semarang
Umar lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Umar, who's 76. Umar lives alone in Semarang, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Umar loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Siti. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from London.
Good luck, Siti. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Semarang.
Sending love, Siti. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
