A place to stay near Houston Children's Hospital while Jacob receives treatment
A family from a village four hours away needs lodging in Houston while a child is treated.
🇺🇸 Houston, Texas, United States802 views
My son Jacob has been accepted for treatment at Houston Children's Hospital in Houston, starting on Saturday in October. We live 479 km away in a village four hours away, 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: Jacob and me. We can contribute $155 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Jacob will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 3–6 weeks
