Ximena is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Ximena 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 4 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.
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Ximena. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Paris
sending good thoughts, Ximena. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Iztapalapa
