Companionship wanted: Joyce's cricket and a cup of tea
Joyce lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇵🇭 2009, San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines320 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Joyce, who's 85. Joyce lives alone in San Fernando, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Joyce loves cricket, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
