Josefa is housebound after chemotherapy and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- 30 minutes a week

Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal!
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Guadalajara
Hope things get better soon, Josefa. Hope this works out for you. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
