After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

    Thinking of you, Yinka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 29 people at work. God bless.

      Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Abuja

      • Odette Delphine Paul

        I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Fez.
