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

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Carlo. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Thinking of Latina
Wishing Carlo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Sending love, Carlo. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Wishing you the best, Carlo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning. Love from Kampala.
