Companionship wanted: Lester's knitting and a cup of tea
Lester lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lester, who's 78. Lester lives alone in Taguig, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Lester loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Keep going, Maricel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Taguig.
Wishing you peace, Maricel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Quetta.
