A kind voice on the phone: Efe's request
Efe 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 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Looking forward to the next update. After 6 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Stockholm.
Wishing you peace, Efe. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Keep going, Efe. Wishing Efe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you peace, Efe. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Mesa this morning. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kochi!
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Ikeja.
