After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Bolaji. Get well soon. Take care
You're not alone, Bolaji. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kikuyu.
Stay strong, Bolaji. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
Take care. Wishing Bolaji a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
rooting for you, Bolaji. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
