A weekly phone friend for Ziad, recovering at home after a long COVID relapse
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long COVID relapse, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Agra donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Casablanca.
Thinking of you and your family, Ziad. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Manchester this morning.
hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope things get better soon, Ziad. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hang in there, Ziad. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
