A weekly phone friend for Claudia, recovering at home after a stroke

After a stroke, 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Hope things get better soon, Claudia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

          This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mardan
