After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.

        Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

          Thanks for sharing this, Venesha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out

            Keep going, Venesha. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
