Family housing near the Galle Cancer Centre: 6 weeks

A family from a rural district needs lodging in Galle while a child is treated.

Galle
My son Eranga has been accepted for treatment at the Galle Cancer Centre in Galle, starting on Wednesday in September. We live 275 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Eranga and me. We can contribute $30 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Eranga will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
