Companionship wanted: Iryna's local history and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Iryna is asking for.
🇷🇺 Saint Petersburg, Saint Petersburg, Russia945 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Iryna, who's 73. Iryna lives alone in Saint Petersburg, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Iryna loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

Take care, Milena. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
best of luck, Milena. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Orlando.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Milena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Zagazig.
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
