Richards Bay
My wife Marlene has been accepted for treatment at Richards Bay University Hospital in Richards Bay, starting on Monday in August. We live 392 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: Marlene and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Marlene will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. I hope life is good to you.
