After a serious car accident, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Aurora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Aurora. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Keep going, Aurora. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Winnipeg!
