A weekly visit for Miguel, 88, who lives alone in Calamba

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Miguel is asking for.

Calamba
I'm writing for my neighbor Miguel, who's 88. Miguel lives alone in Calamba, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 764 kilometers away. Miguel 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
