Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Jeddah
Looking for a friendly person in Jeddah to visit Basma once a week.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,362 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Basma, who's 72. Basma lives alone in Jeddah, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 601 kilometers away.
Basma loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Stay strong, Adel. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Los Angeles.
Stay strong, Adel. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
