Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Setagaya

Naoko lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Naoko, who's 75. Naoko lives alone in Setagaya, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Naoko loves birdwatching, 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.

    Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles.

      Thinking of you, Yuma. Get well soon. My neighbor in Coventry donated after I showed her your page.

        Take care, Yuma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
