A weekly phone friend for Suresh, recovering at home after chemotherapy
Suresh is housebound after chemotherapy and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- 30 minutes a week

Good luck, Suresh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Warangal
Sending strength, Suresh. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Rooting for you, Suresh. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you. Wishing Suresh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Rio de Janeiro donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Faisalabad.
You're not alone, Suresh. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 31 people at work. Take care.
Praying for you, Suresh. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
