After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Melanie. Get well soon. All the best.
Praying for you, Melanie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Rooting for you, Melanie. Wishing Melanie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Jakarta.
Thinking of you and your family, Melanie. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
