Companionship wanted: Dorin's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Dorin lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Dorin, who's 77. Dorin lives alone in Timișoara, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Dorin 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Irina. Shared this with my family
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Dhaka.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Sending strength, Irina. Wishing Dorin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from București.
sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Timișoara!
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Warsaw
Wishing you the best, Irina. Get well soon.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together
