Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Cebu City
Jose lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jose, who's 81. Jose lives alone in Cebu City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Jose loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Jacksonville.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Puebla.
