A room near the Kingston Cancer Centre for a family from a rural district
Tameka is coming to the Kingston Cancer Centre for 4 weeks of treatment and the family needs somewhere affordable to stay.

My sister Tameka has been accepted for treatment at the Kingston Cancer Centre in Kingston, starting on Saturday in September. We live 338 km away in a rural district, 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: Tameka and me. We can contribute $50 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Tameka 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.

Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Peoria.
Hang in there, Garfield. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Buffalo.
hope it all works out, Garfield. Hope you get there. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Kingston.
