After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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.
Thank you so much.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
