After a serious car accident, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.

Wishing you the best, Vanessa. Wishing Vanessa a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Girona.
Hang in there, Vanessa. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 20 people at work
Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Seoul so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Best of luck, Vanessa. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
You're not alone, Vanessa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out, Vanessa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Quezon City.
thanks for sharing this. Wishing Vanessa a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
