Patrícia is isolated after a long COVID relapse: a call a week would help

After a long COVID relapse, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Caleb T. Hawkins

      Best of luck, Patrícia. Wishing Patrícia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

      • Aarón P. Vargas

        Get well soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
