A weekly visit for Hussein, 92, who lives alone in Alexandria
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Hussein is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hussein, who's 92. Hussein lives alone in Alexandria, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Hussein 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 hope life is good to you.

best of luck, Malak. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Alexandria.
Sending love, Malak. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
wishing you peace, Malak. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal. Love from Nagpur.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Alcalá de Henares

Wishing you peace, Malak. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Good luck, Malak. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending love, Malak. Get well soon!
Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Sending strength. Wishing Hussein a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Alexandria.

Sending good thoughts, Malak. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
