Friendly visitor needed for a 91-year-old neighbor in Makati

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

Makati
I'm writing for my neighbor Joyce, who's 91. Joyce lives alone in Makati, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Joyce loves baking, 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. I hope life is good to you.

            Wishing you peace. Wishing Joyce a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Makati.
