Companionship wanted: Elena's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Elena is asking for.
🇷🇺 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia1,547 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Elena, who's 82. Elena lives alone in Novosibirsk, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 254 kilometers away.
Elena loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Salvador!
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. All the best!
Stay strong, Sofia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Gazipur.
take care, Sofia. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Sakai donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Novosibirsk
Hope things get better soon, Sofia. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Rome
sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
sending strength, Sofia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Wishing Elena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Novosibirsk.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Love from Makati.
