A kind voice on the phone: Declan's request
Declan is housebound after a stroke and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.
🇺🇸 United States721 views
After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
