Bunga is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
Bunga is housebound after spinal surgery and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Bunga. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Fresno.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Jakarta.
Thinking of you and your family, Bunga. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Thinking of you, Bunga. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Naivasha
Hope things get better soon, Bunga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
take care, Bunga. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending love, Bunga. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Jakarta.
you're not alone, Bunga. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Hang in there, Bunga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Bunga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Praying for you, Bunga. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Keep going. Wishing Bunga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Hope this works out for you. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Bunga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Jalandhar.
