A kind voice on the phone: Dhruv's request

Dhruv is housebound after a major depressive episode and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a major depressive episode, 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

                            Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Love from Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
