My husband Zola has been accepted for treatment at Cape Town Children's Hospital in Cape Town, starting on Saturday in November. We live 388 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: Zola and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Zola 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.
