My mother Sophie has been accepted for treatment at the Birmingham Cancer Centre in Birmingham, starting on Tuesday in January. We live 368 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: Sophie and me. We can contribute $55 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Sophie will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
