A kind voice on the phone: David's request
David is housebound after a long COVID relapse and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, David. Shared it with a few friends.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
