After chemotherapy, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone, Carol. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Ciudad de México donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

Best of luck, Carol. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Jacksonville this morning. Take care.
