After a long hospital stay, 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 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. Thank you so much.

    Hope things get better soon, Cláudia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Los Angeles.

            Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

            • Zoey A. Howard

              Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Madurai

                  Keep going, Cláudia. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
