A weekly visit for Marina, 75, who lives alone in Moscow
Marina lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Marina, who's 75. Marina lives alone in Moscow, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 722 kilometers away.
Marina loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Love from Chandler.
hope it all works out, Maksym. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
hope it all works out, Maksym. Wishing Marina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Best of luck, Maksym. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Radom so I could bring a meal. God bless
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Moscow.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update
Wishing you the best, Maksym. Shared it with a few friends.
keep going, Maksym. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Good luck, Maksym. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
