A kind voice on the phone: Favour's request

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

Wudil
After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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. I hope life is good to you.

      Hang in there, Favour. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 18 people at work. Blessings

          Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Wudil.

          • Tim Stijn De Boer

            Sending strength, Favour. Shared it with a few friends. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
