A weekly phone friend for Ida, recovering at home after spinal surgery
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Ida. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Södertälje.
Wishing you the best, Ida. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Ida. This could happen to any of us.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
