Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Novosibirsk

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Tetiana, who's 76. Tetiana lives alone in Novosibirsk, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Tetiana loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Best of luck, Kirill. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Novosibirsk!

    • Wishing Tetiana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning. God bless.

      • Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.

        • you're not alone, Kirill. Wishing Tetiana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

          • Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            • hope you get there. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

              • Praying for you, Kirill. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Nairobi.

                • Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Quezon City

                  • hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side

                    • thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless!
