Companionship wanted: Josefina's chess and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Caloocan to visit Josefina once a week.
🇵🇭 Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines1,210 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Josefina, who's 75. Josefina lives alone in Caloocan, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Josefina loves chess, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Francis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Francis. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Francis. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Caloocan.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Campinas.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Josefina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Francis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Paris
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
