Companionship wanted: Boris's knitting and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Boris is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Boris, who's 91. Boris lives alone in Moscow, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Boris loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
