A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Ottawa while a child is treated.

My son Beau has been accepted for treatment at Ottawa Transplant Centre in Ottawa, starting on Friday in November. We live 261 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: Beau and me. We can contribute $165 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Beau 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.

sending good thoughts, Lily. Wishing Beau a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Ottawa.
So sorry you're going through this, Lily. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from San Fernando
good luck, Lily. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Ottawa.
Hope things get better soon, Lily. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Odesa.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
