A kind voice on the phone: Michelle's request
Michelle 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 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 music, books and gardening, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending good thoughts, Michelle. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Hialeah.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Love from Epe.
so sorry you're going through this, Michelle. Get well soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier!
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you, Michelle. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.
keep going, Michelle. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Charlotte so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Nairobi!
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
