A weekly phone friend for Adrián, recovering at home after a broken pelvis

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 12 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 music, books and gardening, 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.

    Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

      Rooting for you, Adrián. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Anaheim donated after I showed her your page

        Thinking of you, Adrián. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Dipa Gautam

          So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Adrián a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.

          • Fatima Mona Jaber

            hope it all works out, Adrián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
