A kind voice on the phone: Benjamin's request
Benjamin is housebound after chemotherapy and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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 music, books and gardening, 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 things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Pune.
