A kind voice on the phone: Dedi's request

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal

      Rooting for you, Dedi. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
