A weekly visit for Amir, 90, who lives alone in Cairo
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Amir is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Amir, who's 90. Amir lives alone in Cairo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Amir loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope it all works out, Abdullah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
rooting for you, Abdullah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Praying for you, Abdullah. Get well soon.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Pretoria.
thinking of you and your family, Abdullah. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Colorado Springs
Hope it all works out, Abdullah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care!
stay strong, Abdullah. Wishing Amir a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Praying for you, Abdullah. Wishing Amir a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Abdullah. This could happen to any of us.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Riverside.
Hope it all works out, Abdullah. I hope things turn around soon.
So sorry you're going through this, Abdullah. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
