Could you share an hour a week with Irmak?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Irmak is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Irmak, who's 79. Irmak lives alone in Bursa, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 857 kilometers away.
Irmak loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Hang in there, Dilara. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this, Dilara. Hope you get there. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Stay strong, Dilara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Best of luck, Dilara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Take care, Dilara. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning.
