Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Quezon City
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Remedios is asking for.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines816 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Remedios, who's 89. Remedios lives alone in Quezon City, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 319 kilometers away.
Remedios loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
