After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Kelly. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Thinking of Fortaleza.
wishing you peace, Kelly. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Fortaleza.
Sending love, Kelly. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Take care, Kelly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts, Kelly. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Reading!
Take care, Kelly. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope things get better soon, Kelly. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Keep going. Wishing Kelly a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
sending strength, Kelly. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
this could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Surakarta so I could bring a meal. All the best
take care, Kelly. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Birmingham
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Fort Worth
