After a serious car accident, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.

    Best of luck, Chinedu. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care

    • Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Casablanca.

      • Keep going, Chinedu. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

        • Take care, Chinedu. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

          • Sending good thoughts, Chinedu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
