A weekly phone friend for Elias, recovering at home after a long COVID relapse
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long COVID relapse, 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 music, books and gardening, 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.

You're not alone, Elias. Get well soon. Blessings
hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Elias. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Newcastle
Praying for you, Elias. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Newcastle
sending good thoughts, Elias. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Johannesburg.
hope you get there. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mysuru.
Take care, Elias. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Dublin so I could bring a meal. Greetings from San Diego.
