Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Karachi

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Hamza, who's 81. Hamza lives alone in Karachi, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Hamza loves old films, 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

  • Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
