After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Salvador.

Wishing you peace, Edilene. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Petrópolis donated after I showed her your page
sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Salvador
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
