A room near Columbus Children's Hospital for a family from a rural district

Looking for a host or low-cost room within 30 minutes of Columbus Children's Hospital.

Columbus
My sister Sofía has been accepted for treatment at Columbus Children's Hospital in Columbus, starting on Saturday in April. We live 277 km away in a rural district, 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Sofían and me. We can contribute $145 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Sofía 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.

    So sorry you're going through this, Julián. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Keep going, Julián. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings

        Rooting for you, Julián. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Paris.

          Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Columbus
