George
My father Lungile has been accepted for treatment at George University Hospital in George, starting on Tuesday in July. We live 446 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 4 weeks. Two of us would stay: Lungile and me. We can contribute $40 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Lungile will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
