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

After spinal surgery, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Dustin. Hope the doctors have good news.
looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
shared this with my family. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Dustin. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Dustin. Hope this works out for you. Love from Kelowna.
