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

After a major depressive episode, 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 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.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mumbai.
Hang in there, Kumar. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Detroit but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Epe.
Thinking of you, Kumar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Nairobi.
