A weekly visit for Osama, 88, who lives alone in Shubra

Looking for a friendly person in Shubra to visit Osama once a week.

Shubra
I'm writing for my neighbor Osama, who's 88. Osama lives alone in Shubra, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 228 kilometers away. Osama loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

      So sorry you're going through this, Samira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning. Greetings from Gazipur.

        Take care, Samira. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
