Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Cebu City

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Mary Grace, who's 86. Mary Grace lives alone in Cebu City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Mary Grace loves gardening, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Praying for you, Juan. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

      Rooting for you, Juan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
