Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Tokyo
Looking for a friendly person in Tokyo to visit Ayumi once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ayumi, who's 76. Ayumi lives alone in Tokyo, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Ayumi loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Mana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Sending love. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Tokyo.
Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Tokyo
Thinking of you, Mana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Tokyo
