Could you share an hour a week with Jamal?

Jamal lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jamal, who's 74. Jamal lives alone in Dammam, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Jamal loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

    • Hope it all works out, Taghreed. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • Keep going, Taghreed. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

        • sending good thoughts, Taghreed. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

          • hope things get better soon, Taghreed. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Niterรณi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Niterรณi.

            • So sorry you're going through this, Taghreed. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
