After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, Ximena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ikeja.
sending strength, Ximena. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
Keep going, Ximena. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Denpasar
