Companionship wanted: Maryam's gardening and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Maryam is asking for.
🇲🇦 Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco1,325 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Maryam, who's 73. Maryam lives alone in Casablanca, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Maryam loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Rooting for you, Manal. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Manal. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Casablanca.
Hang in there, Manal. Hope you get there.
