After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      Hang in there, Andrea. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Milan.

        hope things get better soon, Andrea. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Love from Philadelphia.

          Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Edinburgh donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Milan

            So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
