After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless!
Best of luck, Wawan. Wishing Wawan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
wishing Wawan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
