A weekly visit for Josefina, 85, who lives alone in Manila
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Josefina is asking for.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines788 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Josefina, who's 85. Josefina lives alone in Manila, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Josefina loves cricket, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Rose. I hope things turn around soon.
Keep going, Rose. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Pune
hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Manila
