After a stroke, 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Scarlett a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Rochester so I could bring a meal.

          Take care, Scarlett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

            stay strong, Scarlett. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.

              It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Faisalabad donated after I showed her your page.
