Companionship wanted: Rashid's chess and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Rashid, who's 90. Rashid lives alone in Luxor, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Rashid loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Cardiff so I could bring a meal. All the best.

    • Wishing you peace, Salim. Hope this works out for you. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
