After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Novosibirsk so I could bring a meal.

        Sending strength, Odhiambo. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
