After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck, Hui. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there, Hui. Wishing Hui a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Dublin but we're thinking of you. Thinking of El Paso.
hope it all works out, Hui. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Abuja.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Francisco
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Barat so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Hui. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Timișoara.
Sending strength, Hui. Shared it with a few friends.
Wishing Hui a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of El Paso.
you're not alone, Hui. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Greetings from Seongnam
Wishing Hui a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Bucaramanga this morning
