Companionship wanted: Akari's baking and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Akari is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Akari, who's 86. Akari lives alone in Setagaya, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Akari loves baking, 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.
I hope life is good to you.
