Friendly visitor needed for an 84-year-old neighbor in Heliopolis
Adel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Adel, who's 84. Adel lives alone in Heliopolis, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Adel loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Maryam. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Polokwane.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Heliopolis.
sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Wishing Adel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
you're not alone, Maryam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Marrakesh
