Could you share an hour a week with Ryan?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Ryan is asking for.

Quezon City
I'm writing for my neighbor Ryan, who's 76. Ryan lives alone in Quezon City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 447 kilometers away. Ryan loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
