Companionship wanted: Hatem's knitting and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Hatem is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hatem, who's 90. Hatem lives alone in San Diego, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Hatem loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Stay strong, Sara. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Mombasa donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mombasa.

      • Shared this with my family. Sent it to 25 people at work. God bless

        • sending love, Sara. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. God bless.

          • Thinking of you and your family, Sara. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Bangkok but we're thinking of you. Take care.
