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

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Turin
Thinking of you, Kelly. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Keep going, Kelly. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
