A room near Richards Bay Transplant Centre for a family from a town in the north
A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Richards Bay while a child is treated.
🇿🇦 Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa783 views
My husband Kagiso has been accepted for treatment at Richards Bay Transplant Centre in Richards Bay, starting on Thursday in April. We live 595 km away in a town in the north, 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: Kagiso and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Kagiso will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Craig. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care.

Best of luck. Wishing Kagiso a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Richards Bay.
Thanks for sharing this, Craig. This could happen to any of us.
Sending love, Craig. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hang in there, Craig. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Hope it all works out, Craig. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
