Akoth is isolated after a long COVID relapse: a call a week would help
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 4 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kisumu
sending love, Akoth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

stay strong, Akoth. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Haarlem.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Rio de Janeiro but we're thinking of you. Take care.
get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Riyadh.
