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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Joaquín. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you and your family, Joaquín. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Greetings from Los Angeles

Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
