Companionship wanted: Rolando's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea

Rolando lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rolando, who's 77. Rolando lives alone in Calamba, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Rolando loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

    Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
