A weekly visit for Manuel, 88, who lives alone in Quezon City
Manuel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Manuel, who's 88. Manuel lives alone in Quezon City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Manuel loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Good luck, Teodoro. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Kobe.
