A weekly phone friend for Anna, recovering at home after a stroke
Anna 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 12 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.
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Anna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
