A place to stay near Victoria University Hospital while Aurora receives treatment

Looking for a host or low-cost room within 30 minutes of Victoria University Hospital.

My wife Aurora has been accepted for treatment at Victoria University Hospital in Victoria, starting on Saturday in January. We live 208 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 3 weeks. Two of us would stay: Aurora and me. We can contribute $165 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Aurora 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.

        Hope it all works out, Julian. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
