A kind voice on the phone: Rebecca's request
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long hospital stay, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Rebecca. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Rebecca. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 11 people at work. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Houston.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Nice.
Hope it all works out, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Catania.
you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong, Rebecca. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending love, Rebecca. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in București this morning. Love from București.
Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Kassel.
You're not alone, Rebecca. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Take care, Rebecca. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in San Sebastián donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Rooting for you, Rebecca. Get well soon. Please keep us posted.
Sending strength, Rebecca. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
