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

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Winnie. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 4 people at work!
Thinking of you and your family, Winnie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
