Haris is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
Haris is housebound after spinal surgery and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After spinal surgery, 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 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.

Wishing you peace, Haris. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
wishing you the best, Haris. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Praying for you, Haris. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Stay strong. Get well soon. Don't give up.
Good luck, Haris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Bandung.
