Hosting wanted: Akinyi travelling with Ochieng to Thika for treatment
A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Thika while a child is treated.
🇰🇪 Thika, Kiambu, Kenya1,039 views
My father Ochieng has been accepted for treatment at the Thika Cancer Centre in Thika, starting on Monday in October. We live 155 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 3 weeks. Two of us would stay: Ochieng and me. We can contribute $25 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Ochieng will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Akinyi. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Freiburg so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Thika.
Rooting for you, Akinyi. Get well soon. Blessings.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Thika.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Thika.
Sending good thoughts, Akinyi. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Take care, Akinyi. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Good luck, Akinyi. Looking forward to the next update.

So sorry you're going through this, Akinyi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck, Akinyi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings!
Sending strength, Akinyi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Stay strong, Akinyi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. Take care!
