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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
so sorry you're going through this, Juan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up.
Thinking of you, Juan. This could happen to any of us.
