Sarah is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

          Thinking of you, Sarah. Hope you get there. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

            Sending good thoughts, Sarah. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tangier donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kisumu.
