Could you share an hour a week with Jomar?

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

Cebu City
I'm writing for my neighbor Jomar, who's 84. Jomar lives alone in Cebu City, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Jomar loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

      everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Cebu City.
