Juliana is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Lansing!
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mthatha this morning. Greetings from Mthatha.
So sorry you're going through this, Juliana. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. All the best!
