Could you share an hour a week with Carmela?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Carmela is asking for.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines1,011 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Carmela, who's 77. Carmela lives alone in Davao City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Carmela loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Isabel. Wishing Carmela a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 14 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!

Hope it all works out, Isabel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
