A weekly phone friend for Vanessa, 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 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 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.

    rooting for you, Vanessa. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

      Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings!
