Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Manila
Rolando lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rolando, who's 74. Rolando lives alone in Manila, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Rolando loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

Thinking of you and your family, Maria. Wishing Rolando a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Rolando a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Muzaffarpur so I could bring a meal.
best of luck, Maria. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
