Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Setagaya
Eri lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Eri, who's 72. Eri lives alone in Setagaya, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Eri loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Kinondoni.
Good luck, Emi. Shared this with my family.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Mumbai
