Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Bornova
Defne lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Defne, who's 89. Defne lives alone in Bornova, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 212 kilometers away.
Defne loves local history, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Bornova
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 9 people at work. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Metin. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Adama donated after I showed her your page
