A room near Colombo University Hospital for a family from a village four hours away
Looking for a host or low-cost room within 30 minutes of Colombo University Hospital.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka263 views
My son Suranga has been accepted for treatment at Colombo University Hospital in Colombo, starting on Saturday in December. We live 358 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: Suranga and me. We can contribute $15 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Suranga will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

- 3–6 weeks

This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Colombo.
praying for you, Prabha. Wishing Suranga a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Rooting for you, Prabha. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you peace, Prabha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Prabha. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bristol.
Thinking of you and your family, Prabha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Colombo
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Santos!
