After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope it all works out, Margaret. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Best of luck, Margaret. Hope the doctors have good news.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 5 people at work. Greetings from Iztapalapa
Wishing you peace, Margaret. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Entebbe.
