After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Karina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.

sending love, Karina. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you and your family, Karina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
