A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Cape Town while a child is treated.

My wife Tracey has been accepted for treatment at Cape Town Children's Hospital in Cape Town, starting on Thursday in October. We live 498 km away in a town in the north, and hotel costs would use up what we have set aside for the treatment itself.
We're looking for a room, granny flat or short-term rental within about 30 minutes of the hospital, for 5 weeks. Two of us would stay: Tracey and me. We can contribute $25 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Tracey will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Priya. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Best of luck, Priya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Udaipur donated after I showed her your page.
Sending strength, Priya. Shared this with my family. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Cape Town.
Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

You're not alone, Priya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mapo
