A kind voice on the phone: Doris's request
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Doris. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Brisbane donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Doris. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Best of luck, Doris. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to La Plata so I could bring a meal. God bless!
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
hang in there, Doris. Hope the doctors have good news!
So sorry you're going through this, Doris. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Iloilo City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Los Angeles!
