A weekly phone friend for Salvador, recovering at home after spinal surgery
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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 music, books and gardening, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. Hope you get there. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
hope things get better soon. Get well soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier. God bless.
take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Siliguri.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
