After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.

wishing you the best, Rivka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal
so sorry you're going through this, Rivka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
thinking of you and your family, Rivka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Pune!
Stay strong, Rivka. Hope this works out for you. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
Rooting for you, Rivka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Stay strong, Rivka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hang in there, Rivka. Hope this works out for you. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Jerusalem.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dar es Salaam
