A kind voice on the phone: Ronan's request
Ronan is housebound after a stroke and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. Wishing Ronan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
wishing you the best, Ronan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Hialeah donated after I showed her your page. All the best
stay strong, Ronan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.

Wishing you the best, Ronan. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hang in there, Ronan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
sending strength, Ronan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal.
