Could you share an hour a week with Anwar?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Anwar is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Anwar, who's 72. Anwar lives alone in Mansoura, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Anwar loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Fatima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. All the best.

Good luck, Fatima. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Mansoura.
Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care!
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Parma.
