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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
good luck, Faith. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Nairobi
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dallas!
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
You're not alone, Faith. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Onitsha.

Best of luck. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nairobi.
