Friendly visitor needed for a 93-year-old neighbor in Jeddah

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

Jeddah
I'm writing for my neighbor Mahmoud, who's 93. Mahmoud lives alone in Jeddah, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 490 kilometers away. Mahmoud loves crossword puzzles, 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Kilkenny so I could bring a meal.
