Sawsan is housebound after a serious car accident and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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.
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

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Aswan. I'll ask around and let you know
Stay strong, Sawsan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle upon Tyne so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Aswan.
Best of luck, Sawsan. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
so sorry you're going through this, Sawsan. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Sawsan. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Aswan.
