No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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 peace. Wishing Araceli a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
hope it all works out, Araceli. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
it takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
wishing you peace, Araceli. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
You're not alone, Araceli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
