What is the “Be A Friend” calling service?

It’s when someone from our staff calls you or your loved one up 5 or 7 days a week in the spirit of being compassionate and friendly.

The calls can range from a few minutes to an hour depending on the plan you choose.  If the person we are calling is not there, we try to call back later the same day. If they are not there the second time, we try to leave a message.

If you like, we can send a third party contact (possibly you) an email letting them know the person we were trying to call was unavailable.

What Be A Friend call service is designed to do:

• Build the morale of you or someone you care about
• Be friendly to someone who is shut in or who doesn’t get much company
• Be a good listener for someone who wants to share and talk for a while
• Help someone feel less lonely
• Help someone feel supported
• Help someone to feel like they are getting some social interaction
• Help someone to have something (a phone call) to look forward to
• Share some humor
• Share some good stories

Getting regular friendly calls can be a real boost for someone who is lonely.

If you or a loved one are suffering right now, a friendly voice calling regularly could be a real emotional plus.

If you are to busy to call a shut in loved one everyday, it’s nice to know there is an affordable service to back you up. You might have your hands full and it might be nice to add some extra support that is not expensive.

You and your loved ones are valuable. No one deserves to be isolated, rotting alone. You and your loved ones deserve to be encouraged, built up and to feel worthwhile. Everyone is worthy of love. Everyone deserves to be treated well.

“Be A Friend” calling Service is designed for people who:

• Are Lonely
• Are Isolated
• Are Restricted socially
• Are Possibly immobile
• Don’t get out much
• Want a friendly voice to talk to
• Want more support in their life
• Have lost a spouse
• Have gotten injured
• Are recovering from surgery
• Have just moved to a new town
• Have just gone through a divorce or breakup

Although we will do our best to contact the individual 5 or 7 days a week who is lonely or shut in, we are not a 7-day a week “check in” service per se.  In order to keep our rates very low (much lower then some other services), our callers are friendly Philippines residents who are based overseas. We have found many Philippine people to be caring and family oriented individuals.

The US dollar goes far in the Philippines so we are able to pass the savings on to you. Occasionally there may be outages due to hurricanes and the like and our Philippines callers may not be able to call for a few days. This most likely will not happen very often, but we want to be honest up front that it could happen once in a while.

So if you have someone who is in fragile medical condition that needs to be checked up on every single day, we are probably not the service for you. If you want a very affordable service with friendly callers who call 5 or 7 days a week on a usually “regular” basis, then we welcome you to give our service a try. We think you will find it to be a good value.

“Be A Friend” calling Service is not for people who:

• Need a strict 7 day a week check in service for someone who is very physically ill
• Don’t like phone calls
• Are rude to our callers
• Are looking for romantic or sexual conversations
