A weekly visit for Mercy, 85, who lives alone in Quezon City

Looking for a friendly person in Quezon City to visit Mercy once a week.

Quezon City
I'm writing for my neighbor Mercy, who's 85. Mercy lives alone in Quezon City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Mercy loves old films, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.

        Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Thane but we're thinking of you. Love from Thane.

            Hope things get better soon, Rose. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
