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

After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Daniel. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jacksonville.

Wishing you the best, Daniel. Wishing Daniel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Take care, Daniel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
