After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I live about 20 km from Ciudad de México. I can help at the weekend, tell me what you need. Flexible on timing.

Sending love, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Greensboro
Thinking of you, Gabriel. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Praying for you, Gabriel. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. All the best
