After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Josiah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Bogotá.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
