After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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. Thank you so much.

    are weekends okay or do you need weekdays?

      Timing is flexible, I'd rather work around you than lose a helper. Good question.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Giza

      wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Siliguri this morning. God bless.
