Could you share an hour a week with Sergei?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Sergei is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sergei, who's 79. Sergei lives alone in Kyiv, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Sergei loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Hope things get better soon, Andrei. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

      Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Jodhpur so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Kyiv.

      • Ronaldo Joaquim Oliveira

        wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Da Nang but we're thinking of you. Take care.
