Companionship wanted: Lourdes's birdwatching and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Lourdes is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lourdes, who's 84. Lourdes lives alone in Mandaue, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 377 kilometers away. Lourdes loves birdwatching, 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. Glad we found this place.

      hope it all works out, Joyce. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
