Friendly visitor needed for a 93-year-old neighbor in Davao City

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Remedios, who's 93. Remedios lives alone in Davao City, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 564 kilometers away. Remedios loves opera, 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. Thank you so much.

      Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          Hope things get better soon, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Davao City.

              Thanks for sharing this, Maria. Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
