A kind voice on the phone: Chloe's request
Chloe is housebound after a broken pelvis and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a broken pelvis, 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 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, Chloe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Chloe. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Reading
