A kind voice on the phone: Nonso'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 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    you're not alone, Nonso. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
