After a stroke, 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Bacolod.
Hope it all works out, Isabel. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. God bless!

Stay strong, Isabel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up.
