Companionship wanted: Josefina's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Iloilo City to visit Josefina once a week.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines870 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Josefina, who's 89. Josefina lives alone in Iloilo City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Josefina loves cricket, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Wishing Josefina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Gemma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Iloilo City.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Iloilo City.
