After a serious car accident, 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.

Keep going, Valérie. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Toronto.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update
Get well soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Buffalo

Wishing Valérie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Savar.
