My sister Serenity has been accepted for treatment at the Sydney Cancer Centre in Sydney, starting on Friday in November. We live 401 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 5 weeks. Two of us would stay: Serenity and me. We can contribute $60 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Serenity will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Thank you for reading my story.

            Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

                    • Good luck, Leonardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                      • Sending strength, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Cincinnati.

                          good luck. Looking forward to the next update. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Parramatta.
