Bakersfield
My sister Minh has been accepted for treatment at Bakersfield Children's Hospital in Bakersfield, starting on Sunday in March. We live 507 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: Minh and me. We can contribute $175 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Minh will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

        Thanks for sharing this, Hùng. 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.
