A weekly visit for Khalid, 85, who lives alone in Jeddah
Khalid lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Khalid, who's 85. Khalid lives alone in Jeddah, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Khalid loves old films, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 4 people at work. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Khalid a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Jeddah.
You're not alone, Marwan. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Marwan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Caxias do Sul but we're thinking of you.
