A weekly phone friend for Claudio, recovering at home after a long hospital stay

Claudio is housebound after a long hospital stay and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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 hope life is good to you.

    rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Felicia Rebecca Quartey

      take care. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you.

      • Lucy Beatrice Kiptoo

        Best of luck, Claudio. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Gazipur.

          Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Pokhara but we're thinking of you

            a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lombardy. I'll ask around and let you know.

            • Grace L. Avila

              Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too

              • Petra Claudia Jäger

                hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

                  Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

                    so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
