A kind voice on the phone: Nga's request
Nga 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 10 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Nga. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Leeds.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Sheffield
You're not alone, Nga. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Dortmund donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
