Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Surakarta
Iwan lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Iwan, who's 79. Iwan lives alone in Surakarta, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Iwan loves gardening, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. 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.
