Could you share an hour a week with Esra?
Looking for a friendly person in Istanbul to visit Esra once a week.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye748 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Esra, who's 77. Esra lives alone in Istanbul, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Esra loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
