Could you share an hour a week with Gemma?

Looking for a friendly person in Quezon City to visit Gemma once a week.

Quezon City
I'm writing for my neighbor Gemma, who's 79. Gemma lives alone in Quezon City, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Gemma loves chess, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
