After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Valencia so I could bring a meal. Take care
Sending strength, Pedro. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Zaria.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you, Pedro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Parramatta.
best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Hang in there, Pedro. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 15 people at work. Greetings from Abuja.
you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon, Pedro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Gothenburg
Hope things get better soon, Pedro. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Utrecht donated after I showed her your page. Love from Utrecht!
