A kind voice on the phone: Abena's request
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.

Wishing you peace, Abena. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Abena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Durgapur this morning
