Ethan is isolated after a broken pelvis: a call a week would help

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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Ethan. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Allentown donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Oakland.
Wishing you peace, Ethan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Hope it all works out, Ethan. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mumbai.
sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Rabat.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Sending strength, Ethan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
