Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Lahore

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Uzma, who's 74. Uzma lives alone in Lahore, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Uzma loves baking, 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 so much.

      thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      • Victoria Jefferson

        Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lahore.
