Could you share an hour a week with Aylin?

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

Antalya
I'm writing for my neighbor Aylin, who's 76. Aylin lives alone in Antalya, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Aylin loves birdwatching, 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

          Take care. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
