A weekly visit for Walter, 76, who lives alone in St. Petersburg
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Walter is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Walter, who's 76. Walter lives alone in St. Petersburg, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 744 kilometers away.
Walter loves cricket, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
