A weekly visit for Rowena, 72, who lives alone in Taguig

Rowena lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rowena, who's 72. Rowena lives alone in Taguig, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 707 kilometers away. Rowena loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

  • good luck, Gerald. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
