A kind voice on the phone: Omar's request
Omar 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 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.
Thank you so much.

praying for you, Omar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Hawassa so I could bring a meal. Love from Birmingham
thanks for sharing this, Omar. Wishing Omar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in San Sebastián this morning. Blessings.
sending love, Omar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Bhaktapur
sending good thoughts, Omar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Burnaby.
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
