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

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 30 minutes a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- listening, patience

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Thinking of San Diego.
Thanks for sharing this, Consuelo. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Diego.
Wishing you peace, Consuelo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
So sorry you're going through this, Consuelo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Stay strong, Consuelo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
