After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 30 minutes a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- listening, patience

Hope things get better soon, Swetha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Addis Ababa donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Thinking of Nashik.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care
Thinking of you, Swetha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Angeles.
Take care, Swetha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Hang in there, Swetha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mar del Plata
Thinking of you, Swetha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Mysuru.
