Family housing near Bakersfield Children's Hospital: 6 weeks
A family from a village four hours away needs lodging in Bakersfield while a child is treated.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States276 views
My brother Ezekiel has been accepted for treatment at Bakersfield Children's Hospital in Bakersfield, starting on Sunday in April. We live 163 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Ezekiel and me. We can contribute $90 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Ezekiel will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
Glad we found this place.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Dasmariñas.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt!
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Bakersfield!
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
