After a stroke, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Makati.
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Keep going, Irene. Get well soon. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
