Isabella is isolated after a long hospital stay: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long hospital stay, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Isabella. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless
Sending strength, Isabella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kolkata.
Thinking of you, Isabella. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Vancouver
