A weekly phone friend for Francisco, recovering at home after chemotherapy

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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. Glad we found this place.

    Sending strength, Francisco. This could happen to any of us. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

      Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal.
