After a long hospital stay, 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.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you, Isabelle. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Isabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from London.
Wishing you peace, Isabelle. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Boulogne-Billancourt donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Incheon.
