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

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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Sylhet.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Los Angeles.
Good luck, Sandesh. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page.
sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Love from Cầu Giấy.
