After a serious car accident, 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 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 so much.

      Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Setagaya.

        stay strong, Chidi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
