A weekly visit for Inna, 77, who lives alone in Yekaterinburg
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Inna is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Inna, who's 77. Inna lives alone in Yekaterinburg, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Inna loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

Sending love, Volodymyr. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Saint-Étienne this morning. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hang in there, Volodymyr. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning.
Sending good thoughts, Volodymyr. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
hang in there, Volodymyr. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. All the best.
praying for you, Volodymyr. Wishing Inna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Marseille.
Wishing you peace, Volodymyr. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Kasarani.
