Patricia is isolated after a serious car accident: a call a week would help
Patricia 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 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Patricia. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from San Fernando
Hope things get better soon, Patricia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Quezon City.
Stay strong, Patricia. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from San Miguel de Tucumán.
Praying for you, Patricia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Patricia. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Quezon City.
I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Cork.
Thanks for sharing this, Patricia. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Birmingham!
