Tommaso is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Tommaso is housebound after a stroke and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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 music, books and gardening, 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.

Hope it all works out, Tommaso. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Warri.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Islamabad but we're thinking of you.
rooting for you, Tommaso. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Salerno

Wishing you the best, Tommaso. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Sending strength, Tommaso. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Charlotte
Stay strong, Tommaso. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up
