A weekly visit for Gamze, 80, who lives alone in Bornova

Looking for a friendly person in Bornova to visit Gamze once a week.

Bornova
I'm writing for my neighbor Gamze, who's 80. Gamze lives alone in Bornova, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Gamze loves birdwatching, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
