A family from a village four hours away needs lodging in Oakland while a child is treated.

My wife Taylor has been accepted for treatment at Oakland Transplant Centre in Oakland, starting on Tuesday in January. We live 447 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: Taylor and me. We can contribute $80 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Taylor will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 3–6 weeks
- format
- In person in Oakland
- skills
- a spare room near the hospital

shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Oakland.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Thomas. I hope things turn around soon.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Jose.
