A kind voice on the phone: Patrick's request

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

Paris
After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
