A weekly visit for Tamaki, 87, who lives alone in Osaka
Tamaki lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Tamaki, who's 87. Tamaki lives alone in Osaka, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Tamaki loves knitting, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Chihiro. This could happen to any of us. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
