Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Luxor

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Zaid is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Zaid, who's 76. Zaid lives alone in Luxor, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Zaid loves knitting, 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 hope life is good to you.

    Best of luck, Marwan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

        Thinking of you, Marwan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

          Good luck. Wishing Zaid a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Alicante so I could bring a meal

          • Min-ji Yoo

            Hope you get there. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
