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

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, Sabina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
sending love, Sabina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Rochester
sending strength, Sabina. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Dhaka.
Rooting for you, Sabina. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings

Take care, Sabina. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Guarulhos.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Gqeberha.
sending good thoughts, Sabina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Sabina. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Comilla.
Good luck, Sabina. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Praying for you, Sabina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Feira de Santana donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
