After a broken pelvis, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Galina. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
hope it all works out. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thinking of you and your family, Galina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family, Galina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
