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

After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
Thank you so much.

take care, Lester. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
So sorry you're going through this, Lester. Hope you get there. Love from Incheon.
Take care, Lester. Wishing Lester a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care!
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.

Wishing you the best, Lester. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Victoria
Good luck, Lester. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Iloilo City.
Keep going, Lester. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Los Angeles

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
