Esteban is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Esteban 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 7 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 so much.

Wishing you the best, Esteban. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Ciudad de México
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Montpellier donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
this could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Chattogram.
