After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Jose. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up!
Wishing you peace, Jose. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
