A weekly phone friend for Yui, recovering at home after a long COVID relapse
Yui is housebound after a long COVID relapse and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a long COVID relapse, 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 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.

rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Sheffield
Best of luck. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
