Companionship wanted: Amal's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Shubra to visit Amal once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Amal, who's 73. Amal lives alone in Shubra, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Amal loves opera, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Omar. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Shubra.
hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Best of luck, Omar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Shubra.
