Hosting wanted: Kevin travelling with Gemma to Manila for treatment

Gemma is coming to Manila Children's Hospital for 6 weeks of treatment and the family needs somewhere affordable to stay.

Manila
My mother Gemma has been accepted for treatment at Manila Children's Hospital in Manila, starting on Monday in March. We live 455 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Gemma and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Gemma will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
