A weekly phone friend for Thijs, recovering at home after a broken pelvis
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

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 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.

Keep going, Thijs. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
thinking of you, Thijs. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Yonkers donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
good luck, Thijs. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
