My daughter Zinhle has been accepted for treatment at Johannesburg Children's Hospital in Johannesburg, starting on Thursday in April. We live 442 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 3 weeks. Two of us would stay: Zinhle and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Zinhle 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.
