Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in Mandaue
Looking for a friendly person in Mandaue to visit Jose once a week.
🇵🇠Mandaue, Cebu, Philippines1,916 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Jose, who's 94. Jose lives alone in Mandaue, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Jose loves gardening, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Teresita. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
stay strong, Teresita. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. All the best
Sending strength, Teresita. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
So sorry you're going through this, Teresita. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 31 people at work. Love from Bogra.
Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

Thinking of you and your family, Teresita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Best of luck, Teresita. Wishing Jose a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings

I hope things turn around soon. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mangaluru.
