Friendly visitor needed for an 85-year-old neighbor in Kharkiv
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Polina is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Polina, who's 85. Polina lives alone in Kharkiv, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 552 kilometers away.
Polina 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
