Companionship wanted: Merve's opera and a cup of tea
Merve lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye283 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Merve, who's 75. Merve lives alone in Istanbul, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Merve loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Good luck, Metin. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up
you're not alone, Metin. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Istanbul.
