After spinal surgery, 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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 for reading my story.

Best of luck, Matilde. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Take care. Wishing Matilde a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
shared it with a few friends. After 15 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Matilde. Get well soon. After 15 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Matilde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Matilde a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Latina
Rooting for you, Matilde. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 24 people at work.
Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Pasig.
Sending love, Matilde. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Latina.
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Varanasi so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Matilde. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon, Matilde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
