A weekly phone friend for Liam, recovering at home after chemotherapy
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
You're not alone, Liam. It takes guts to ask. Well done
