Companionship wanted: Qasim's chess and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Mecca to visit Qasim once a week.
🇸🇦 Mecca, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,100 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Qasim, who's 89. Qasim lives alone in Mecca, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Qasim loves chess, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing Qasim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Stay strong, Bilal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from Seoul!
Thinking of you, Bilal. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mecca.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Londrina
Best of luck, Bilal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up
