A kind voice on the phone: Byaruhanga's request
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 3 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like history, chess and quiz shows, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Byaruhanga. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Embakasi.

Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
