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

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Glad we found this place.

Take care. Wishing Rabia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending strength. Get well soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts, Rabia. Looking forward to the next update.
Best of luck, Rabia. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Latina this morning. God bless.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Bornova
Stay strong, Rabia. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Newport
Stay strong, Rabia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Faisalabad.
Wishing you the best, Rabia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Faisalabad.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Faisalabad.

You're not alone, Rabia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Houston this morning. Love from Houston.
Wishing you peace, Rabia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
