A kind voice on the phone: Viola's request

Viola is housebound after a major depressive episode and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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 music, books and gardening, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Wishing you the best, Viola. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Pietermaritzburg donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

        best of luck, Viola. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Milan.
