After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Maryam. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Jessore.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Brasília
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
