Phone calls

Probably an insane question, but is there a phone service available for my mom to call and talk to random people? I know this sounds silly but I would love for her to be able to speak to other people going through what she is going through. If not, we need to create one!

    I had heard of something like this, so I was going to give you the link, but a quick search for "call random strangers" turned up more than a page of results. It looks like the challenge won't be finding one, but screening them to see if any seem appropriate.

    Yes I also searched "random strangers", lol it was not was I was hoping for. My mom is still living alone because I'm in the works with guardianship papers so I definitely can't "disappear" her phone in case of emergency. (42) calls today, but I let them go to voicemail and then listen to them ASAP to make sure she is ok. This is very new to me so I'm just trying to figure it out. but dang its hard!
