After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Salma. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Wishing you the best, Salma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Sending good thoughts, Salma. Wishing Salma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. God bless
