A kind voice on the phone: Tayo's request

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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. Wishing Tayo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

    • Hang in there, Tayo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Manchester.

      • Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Knoxville this morning. God bless

        • hang in there, Tayo. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Multan.
