A weekly visit for Imelda, 83, who lives alone in Manila
Looking for a friendly person in Manila to visit Imelda once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Imelda, who's 83. Imelda lives alone in Manila, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Imelda loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Aileen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Manila.
I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
hang in there. Wishing Imelda a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Pune.
Hope things get better soon, Aileen. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
