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

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.
Thank you so much.

gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending love. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
Good luck, Shankar. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
wishing you peace, Shankar. Hope you get there. Love from New Delhi.
