Chidi is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Chidi 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 4 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.
I hope life is good to you.

wishing you peace, Chidi. Hope this works out for you.
Rooting for you, Chidi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Nakuru.
Thanks for sharing this, Chidi. This could happen to any of us.
Sending good thoughts, Chidi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
thinking of you, Chidi. Hope you get there. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Istanbul.
wishing you peace, Chidi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
