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

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Cecilia, who's 86. Cecilia lives alone in Quezon City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Cecilia loves knitting, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • good luck, Aileen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kikuyu so I could bring a meal. All the best.

    • Good luck, Aileen. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

      • Best of luck, Aileen. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Gatineau!
