A weekly phone friend for Winnie, recovering at home after spinal surgery
Winnie is housebound after spinal surgery and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you peace, Winnie. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Hyderabad.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Envigado this morning. Take care.
