Companionship wanted: Sumbal's chess and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Sumbal is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sumbal, who's 74. Sumbal lives alone in Gujranwala, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Sumbal loves chess, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Nida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Gujranwala.
thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Port Harcourt but we're thinking of you.
Praying for you, Nida. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Gujranwala.
