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 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Brampton so I could bring a meal.

      stay strong, Lilian. Wishing Lilian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 9 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • Gerard Keane

        Stay strong, Lilian. I hope things turn around soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Lagos.
