Companionship wanted: Svetlana's baking and a cup of tea

Svetlana lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Svetlana, who's 74. Svetlana lives alone in Saint Petersburg, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Svetlana loves baking, 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.

      So sorry you're going through this, Kirill. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.

        Hang in there, Kirill. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Saint Petersburg

          Thinking of you, Kirill. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
