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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Jose.

    • Bennett Jenkins

      Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
