Companionship wanted: Zenaida's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Manila to visit Zenaida once a week.
🇵🇭 1001, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines282 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Zenaida, who's 88. Zenaida lives alone in Manila, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Zenaida 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.
I hope life is good to you.
