Could you share an hour a week with Taghreed?
Taghreed lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Taghreed, who's 79. Taghreed lives alone in Dammam, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Taghreed loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Abdullah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
