After a stroke, 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.

hope it all works out, Rahul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Good luck, Rahul. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hang in there, Rahul. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Medan
you're not alone, Rahul. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything
