Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Istanbul
Looking for a friendly person in Istanbul to visit Mehmet once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mehmet, who's 75. Mehmet lives alone in Istanbul, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 388 kilometers away.
Mehmet loves baking, 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.
Thank you so much.

rooting for you, Feyza. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Venice this morning. Blessings.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care.
