Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Cairo

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Zainab, who's 79. Zainab lives alone in Cairo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Zainab loves birdwatching, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Hope things get better soon, Faisal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
