My wife Araceli has been accepted for treatment at Springfield Children's Hospital in Springfield, starting on Tuesday in May. We live 463 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 5 weeks. Two of us would stay: Araceli and me. We can contribute $115 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Araceli will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

      thinking of you and your family, Ricardo. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
