A kind voice on the phone: Lata's request
Lata 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Sending good thoughts, Lata. Wishing Lata a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Nagpur
Sending strength, Lata. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Lata. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nagpur.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Nagpur.
Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Nagpur.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Belo Horizonte
Sending love, Lata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Wishing Lata a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Nagpur.
Praying for you, Lata. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Lata a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Mumbai.
Praying for you, Lata. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Nagpur.
