A weekly phone friend for Zoë, recovering at home after a serious car accident

Zoë is housebound after a serious car accident and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a serious car accident, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.

    So sorry you're going through this, Zoë. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Entebbe donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
