A kind voice on the phone: Parker's request
Parker 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 10 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 30 minutes a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- listening, patience

You're not alone, Parker. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope it all works out, Parker. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
praying for you, Parker. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Lagos
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
