David is isolated after a broken pelvis: a call a week would help
David is housebound after a broken pelvis and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

- 30 minutes a week

Sending strength, David. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Riverside.

Praying for you, David. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
