Cherry is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a stroke, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Gazipur donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Best of luck, Cherry. Shared it with a few friends.
Get well soon. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Cherry. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Dasmariñas.
