A kind voice on the phone: Bakari's request
Bakari is housebound after a serious car accident and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.
Anywhere in the world92 views
After a serious car accident, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

This could happen to any of us. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Hope you get there. Love from Iztapalapa
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Take care
Hang in there, Bakari. Wishing Bakari a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Detroit donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Gulu!
