After a long COVID relapse, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 30 minutes a week

Thinking of you, Naoko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Naoko. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. All the best
Stay strong, Naoko. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Minneapolis.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
