Companionship wanted: Maria's old films and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Maria is asking for.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines842 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Maria, who's 91. Maria lives alone in Manila, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Maria loves old films, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
