A weekly phone friend for Chukwuemeka, recovering at home after spinal surgery
Chukwuemeka is housebound after spinal surgery and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Londrina
wishing Chukwuemeka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai.
Sending love, Chukwuemeka. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
praying for you, Chukwuemeka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
keep going, Chukwuemeka. I hope things turn around soon. Love from București.
