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

After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, John. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing John a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
