After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Radom!
Wishing Silvia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of San Jose
thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Campinas.
Sending good thoughts, Silvia. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Jose.
You're not alone, Silvia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Buenos Aires!
