Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Üsküdar
Looking for a friendly person in Üsküdar to visit Kaan once a week.
🇹🇷 34054, Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye1,499 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kaan, who's 75. Kaan lives alone in Üsküdar, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 405 kilometers away.
Kaan loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bogor.
take care, Onur. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
thanks for sharing this, Onur. Wishing Kaan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Lagos
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Savannah but we're thinking of you. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Joliet.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Onur. Hope this works out for you
Best of luck, Onur. Hope you get there. Thinking of Üsküdar
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 37 people at work. Love from Madrid.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
sending love. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hamilton
Praying for you. Wishing Kaan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Kadıköy this morning
best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Barat so I could bring a meal. Blessings
