Chaminda is isolated after a major depressive episode: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a major depressive episode, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Chaminda. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. Love from Fresno
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
You're not alone, Chaminda. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Negombo.
So sorry you're going through this, Chaminda. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Negombo.
Wishing you the best, Chaminda. 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. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Chaminda. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
You're not alone, Chaminda. Shared this with my family. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
You're not alone. Get well soon. My neighbor in Vancouver donated after I showed her your page.
hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Badagry
You're not alone, Chaminda. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Keep going, Chaminda. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, Chaminda. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Good luck, Chaminda. This could happen to any of us
