After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Gabriella. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Hawassa
Good luck, Gabriella. Wishing Gabriella a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Antonio
stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Praying for you, Gabriella. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Gabriella. Wishing Gabriella a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you the best, Gabriella. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Utrecht but we're thinking of you.
Good luck, Gabriella. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 11 people at work.
