After a stroke, 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon, Corazon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from New York.
Praying for you, Corazon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Manchester but we're thinking of you
good luck, Corazon. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless
