After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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.

Sending love, Amparo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Tarragona this morning. Greetings from Tarragona!
Thanks for sharing this, Amparo. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Envigado!
Praying for you, Amparo. Shared it with a few friends
Sending good thoughts, Amparo. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Jeddah donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you peace, Amparo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
