A weekly visit for Fadi, 77, who lives alone in Cairo

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

Cairo
I'm writing for my neighbor Fadi, who's 77. Fadi lives alone in Cairo, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 296 kilometers away. Fadi loves chess, 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Hải Phòng but we're thinking of you.

    • wishing you peace, Hassan. Hope the doctors have good news. After 14 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • Hope it all works out, Hassan. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Hyderabad this morning. All the best.
