After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Bella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Best of luck, Bella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Sending love, Bella. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Wishing Bella a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from San Jose.
Sending love, Bella. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
take care. 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. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Bella. Looking forward to the next update.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. All the best.
