A kind voice on the phone: Héctor's request

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a serious car accident, 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 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rome.

    • Supriya T. Patil

      sending strength. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Naples donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

      • Pedro W. Cordero

        reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

          rooting for you, Héctor. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
