A weekly phone friend for Jan, recovering at home after a long COVID relapse

Jan is housebound after a long COVID relapse and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

      Thinking of you, Jan. Wishing Jan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Rawalpindi.

        Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
