A kind voice on the phone: Haruto's request
Haruto is housebound after a stroke and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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 music, books and gardening, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Get well soon. Sent it to 39 people at work. Take care.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you.
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
You're not alone, Haruto. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
