After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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.

so sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. Sent it to 32 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Sending love, Gabriel. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Pokhara.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. God bless
Wishing you peace, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
