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

wishing you the best. Wishing Amira a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Shubra.
wishing you peace, Amira. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
You're not alone, Amira. Get well soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. All the best
take care, Amira. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope you get there. Love from Nagpur.

Praying for you, Amira. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Novosibirsk.
