Yusuf is isolated after chemotherapy: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Yusuf. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from San Fernando!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Petrópolis this morning.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
