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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Sumbal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Faisalabad
Stay strong, Sumbal. 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. God bless.
