A weekly phone friend for Zoya, 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 8 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Hope things get better soon, Zoya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Keep going, Zoya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bhaktapur
Sending good thoughts, Zoya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
