Companionship wanted: Osama's cricket and a cup of tea
Osama lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇸🇦 Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia164 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Osama, who's 84. Osama lives alone in Riyadh, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Osama loves cricket, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Colorado Springs.
Wishing Osama a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Riyadh.
sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 9 people at work.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Mombasa
wishing you the best, Rashid. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Riyadh
