After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Sending strength, Horace. Wishing Horace a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Hang in there, Horace. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Bucaramanga donated after I showed her your page. Love from Bucaramanga.
Wishing you the best, Horace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Saket!
rooting for you. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
Wishing you peace, Horace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you, Horace. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in 6th of October City this morning.
Best of luck. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Horace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Tema!
Stay strong, Horace. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan
