Companionship wanted: Yuna's baking and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Shinjuku to visit Yuna once a week.
🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan224 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Yuna, who's 87. Yuna lives alone in Shinjuku, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Yuna loves baking, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

thinking of you and your family, Aoi. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
hope it all works out, Aoi. Shared this with my family!
Best of luck, Aoi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Miami.
hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
thanks for sharing this, Aoi. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in New York but we're thinking of you.
