My mother Vanessa has been accepted for treatment at the Campinas Cancer Centre in Campinas, starting on Friday in October. We live 418 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: Vanessa and me. We can contribute $55 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Vanessa will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Thank you so much.
