Hosting wanted: Emily travelling with Lawrence to Durham for treatment
A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Durham while a child is treated.
🇺🇸 Durham, North Carolina, United States788 views
My brother Lawrence has been accepted for treatment at Durham Transplant Centre in Durham, starting on Friday in November. We live 217 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: Lawrence and me. We can contribute $165 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Lawrence will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 3–6 weeks

Good luck, Emily. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thanks for sharing this, Emily. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Good luck, Emily. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings

Wishing you peace, Emily. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Athens.
