A kind voice on the phone: Jordan's request
Jordan 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Get well soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Derry.
Wishing you peace, Jordan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Wishing Jordan a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Wishing you peace, Jordan. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Gaya.
Take care, Jordan. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
keep going, Jordan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 7 people at work. Thinking of Derry.
