Family housing near Patna Children's Hospital: 6 weeks
A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Patna while a child is treated.
🇮🇳 Patna, Bihar, India480 views
My brother Gopal has been accepted for treatment at Patna Children's Hospital in Patna, starting on Tuesday in September. We live 459 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Gopal and me. We can contribute $15 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Gopal will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Keep going, Malathi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Patna!
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
