Companionship wanted: Carmela's chess and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Mandaue to visit Carmela once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Carmela, who's 72. Carmela lives alone in Mandaue, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Carmela loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
