My father Garba has been accepted for treatment at the Zaria Cancer Centre in Zaria, starting on Wednesday in August. We live 481 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 3 weeks. Two of us would stay: Garba and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Garba 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.

      Sending good thoughts, Juliet. Hope the doctors have good news.

      • Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

        • so sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

          • Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Cape Coast.

              Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

                  I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

                  • Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                    • Stay strong, Juliet. Get well soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care

                      • Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Zaria.

                          Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out

                          • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
