After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Jacksonville so I could bring a meal. God bless
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
