Friendly visitor needed for an 84-year-old neighbor in Dnipro

Looking for a friendly person in Dnipro to visit Evgeny once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Evgeny, who's 84. Evgeny lives alone in Dnipro, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Evgeny loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

  • thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

      A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know.

      • You're not alone, Alina. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings

        • Take care, Alina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

          • Praying for you, Alina. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.

            • Sending love, Alina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. God bless.

              • Good luck, Alina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.

                • keep going. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in St. Petersburg but we're thinking of you. Take care.

                  • Wishing you the best, Alina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!

                    • Hang in there, Alina. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Amsterdam this morning. Greetings from Amsterdam!

                      • shared this with my family. All the best!

                        • Hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

                          • Thinking of you, Alina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
