A weekly visit for Osamu, 74, who lives alone in Tokyo
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Osamu is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Osamu, who's 74. Osamu lives alone in Tokyo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Osamu loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Stay strong, Mana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Tokyo.
Sending love, Mana. 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.
