Hosting wanted: Macharia travelling with Nakato to Kampala for treatment

A family from a village four hours away needs lodging in Kampala while a child is treated.

Kampala
My sister Nakato has been accepted for treatment at Kampala Children's Hospital in Kampala, starting on Saturday in April. We live 255 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 3 weeks. Two of us would stay: Nakato and me. We can contribute $10 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Nakato will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
