Companionship wanted: Shahid's local history and a cup of tea
Shahid lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan436 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Shahid, who's 78. Shahid lives alone in Lahore, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Shahid loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Hang in there, Dua. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Montego Bay.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you.
