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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

hope it all works out, Márcio. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

so sorry you're going through this, Márcio. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Chiang Mai
