A weekly visit for Karim, 93, who lives alone in Heliopolis
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Karim is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Karim, who's 93. Karim lives alone in Heliopolis, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 612 kilometers away.
Karim 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Saeed. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Rooting for you, Saeed. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Take care
sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Saeed. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Sending good thoughts, Saeed. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Tarkwa.
