Companionship wanted: Aileen's gardening and a cup of tea
Aileen lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines513 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Aileen, who's 77. Aileen lives alone in Manila, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Aileen loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Love from São Paulo.
Hope it all works out, Noel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Best of luck, Noel. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Manila.
