Companionship wanted: Taiga's cricket and a cup of tea
Taiga lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan303 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Taiga, who's 82. Taiga lives alone in Shinjuku, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 316 kilometers away.
Taiga loves cricket, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon, Daiki. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
