A room near Kyoto Children's Hospital for a family from a village four hours away

Noriko is coming to Kyoto Children's Hospital for 4 weeks of treatment and the family needs somewhere affordable to stay.

My mother Noriko has been accepted for treatment at Kyoto Children's Hospital in Kyoto, starting on Saturday in September. We live 348 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 4 weeks. Two of us would stay: Noriko and me. We can contribute $105 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Noriko 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.

    Best of luck, Osamu. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.

      Praying for you, Osamu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 18 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Kyoto.

      • Carter J. Lewis

        Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
