After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.

Thinking of you. Get well soon. Love from San Francisco.
Thinking of you, Maurício. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Take care
stay strong, Maurício. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 34 people at work.
wishing you peace, Maurício. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
Thanks for sharing this, Maurício. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
