Hosting wanted: Esther travelling with Upendo to Mombasa for treatment
A family from a village four hours away needs lodging in Mombasa while a child is treated.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya281 views
My daughter Upendo has been accepted for treatment at Mombasa University Hospital in Mombasa, starting on Friday in October. We live 404 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: Upendo and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Upendo 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.

Rooting for you, Esther. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

Stay strong, Esther. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hang in there, Esther. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Siliguri
Rooting for you, Esther. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mombasa.
Keep going, Esther. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.

Sending love, Esther. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update.
Hang in there, Esther. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Addis Ababa so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
