Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Lapu-Lapu

Looking for a friendly person in Lapu-Lapu to visit Rodel once a week.

Lapu-Lapu
I'm writing for my neighbor Rodel, who's 81. Rodel lives alone in Lapu-Lapu, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 774 kilometers away. Rodel loves cricket, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
