A weekly visit for Zahra, 76, who lives alone in Giza
Zahra lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Zahra, who's 76. Zahra lives alone in Giza, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Zahra loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Ali. Hope you get there.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
wishing you the best, Ali. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Rawalpindi
good luck, Ali. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Gazipur so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
