My brother Thijs has been accepted for treatment at Haarlem Children's Hospital in Haarlem, starting on Tuesday in April. We live 174 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 4 weeks. Two of us would stay: Thijs and me. We can contribute $85 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Thijs 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.

    look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Londrina.

    • Best of luck, Corrie. Looking forward to the next update. Love from São Paulo

      • Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

        • Hope things get better soon, Corrie. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

            so sorry you're going through this, Corrie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Haarlem

            • Praying for you, Corrie. Looking forward to the next update.

              • Wishing Thijs a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

                • Best of luck, Corrie. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

                  • praying for you, Corrie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

                    • Good luck, Corrie. Hope the doctors have good news

                      • Good luck, Corrie. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

                        • Thinking of you and your family, Corrie. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you.
