Congratulations Lillian and Aki-san!! This announcement is fabulous news! I am so happy for both of you!
It is a testament to your perseverance, skills and dedication to Kokoro Cares that your business has not only grown from a shared dream, but also thrived and has been recognized and acquired by a mainstream enterprise. I know the road to this point was not easy and it took a lot of personal sacrifices to reach this milestone. I was happy to be a teeny tiny part of this success with an annual subscription to your monthly “goody” packages.
Wishing you both continued good health and good karma.
Sincerely,
Marty
