Shima is isolated after a long hospital stay: a call a week would help

Shima is housebound after a long hospital stay and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a long hospital stay, 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Hope things get better soon, Shima. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bristol

        So sorry you're going through this, Shima. Get well soon. Sent it to 22 people at work. All the best.

          Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

            Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Likoni so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Campinas.

              Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Narayanganj
