Maria is isolated after chemotherapy: a call a week would help
Maria is housebound after chemotherapy and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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 so much.

hang in there, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Campinas!
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Stay strong, Maria. Wishing Maria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cincinnati.
Rooting for you, Maria. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
