A room near the Dehiwala Cancer Centre for a family from a town in the north
A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Dehiwala while a child is treated.

My daughter Piumi has been accepted for treatment at the Dehiwala Cancer Centre in Dehiwala, starting on Thursday in October. We live 194 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 5 weeks. Two of us would stay: Piumi and me. We can contribute $25 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Piumi 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.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Dehiwala.
You're not alone, Chaminda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Tamale so I could bring a meal!
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Take care, Chaminda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
