Richards Bay
My daughter Rachel has been accepted for treatment at Richards Bay Children's Hospital in Richards Bay, starting on Friday in May. We live 160 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 4 weeks. Two of us would stay: Rachel and me. We can contribute $40 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Rachel will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Good luck, Jessica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

      • Joy Lilian Eze

        Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings

          So sorry you're going through this, Jessica. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
