Asher is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Asher is housebound after a stroke and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a stroke, 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 music, books and gardening, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Greetings from Multan.
shared this with my family. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Asaba.
