A weekly phone friend for Maverick, recovering at home after a long hospital stay

Maverick is housebound after a long hospital stay and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Keep going, Maverick. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Medellín!

      Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

        Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
