Burak is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
Burak 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 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 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.

Thinking of you, Burak. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Brampton.
Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of İzmir
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Aurangabad.
