Companionship wanted: Joyce's old films and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Lapu-Lapu to visit Joyce once a week.

Lapu-Lapu
I'm writing for my neighbor Joyce, who's 89. Joyce lives alone in Lapu-Lapu, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Joyce loves old films, 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. Thank you so much.

            • sending strength, Perla. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you!
