A weekly phone friend for John, recovering at home after a long hospital stay
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Thank you so much.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, John. Wishing John a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
