<human>: First of all, I'm sorry if this isn't quite appropriate for this subreddit, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.

My friend has an illness called aplastic anemia (or, at least, I think it's called that) - to my understanding, it means that her bone marrow is stone-cold not working, and she needs some kind of intervention to help. It's very serious and there's a small chance that she might not make it. A small chance is not no chance, so it's horrible.

I'd like to make things easier or her, but it's difficult because I've never been in a life-threatening situation like that before. She's been put on medication that will suppress her immune system, but because of that she's unable to leave the house or hospital for an extended length of time, or really be around people at all. I spent two weeks housebound and it was hell - it could be up to nine months (longer, if she gets a transplant, and there's chaemotherapy on top of that too), so I have no idea how she'd cope.

I'd like to make it easier for her, but aside from making a gift box / care package type thing, I honestly have no idea what I can do. I mean, of course, there's the whole "be there for her thing" - but that's to be expected, isn't it?

I'd like something practical and helpful, and any advice or suggestions would be seriously great.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Friend is seriously, seriously ill and unable to really leave the house. I want to help her, but I don't know how.
