After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Omolara. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Lagos.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Lagos.
Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 6 people at work. Thinking of Lagos
wishing you the best, Omolara. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Augusta but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Rawalpindi
Hope things get better soon, Omolara. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Thinking of Lagos
take care, Omolara. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from La Plata.
take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
you're not alone, Omolara. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
sending strength, Omolara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Toronto this morning!
Thinking of you and your family, Omolara. It takes guts to ask. Well done
