A weekly phone friend for Taslima, 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Really cared about my situation

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

    Truly grateful for the support

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

        Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 15 people at work. God bless

            Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

              Sending strength, Taslima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Dnipro

                Thanks for sharing this, Taslima. Shared it with a few friends. I hope July is when things finally get easier.

                    Thinking of you, Taslima. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
