A weekly phone friend for Gabriela, recovering at home after a major depressive episode
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Gabriela. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Best of luck, Gabriela. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Sending love, Gabriela. Shared it with a few friends.
