After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Wishing Francis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Rooting for you, Francis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Good luck, Francis. Wishing Francis a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Bacoor.
