A kind voice on the phone: John Paul's request
John Paul 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, John Paul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Rooting for you, John Paul. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, John Paul. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Dundee.
