After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Madelyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Manchester.
Rooting for you, Madelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Madelyn. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Rotterdam
you're not alone, Madelyn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Peshawar but we're thinking of you.
