Arda is housebound after chemotherapy and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

praying for you, Arda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
you're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Good luck. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Phuket so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Arda a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
