Hosting wanted: Olivia travelling with Harper to Brooklyn for treatment

A family from a rural district needs lodging in Brooklyn while a child is treated.

Brooklyn
My daughter Harper has been accepted for treatment at the Brooklyn Cancer Centre in Brooklyn, starting on Saturday in January. We live 373 km away in a rural district, 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: Harper and me. We can contribute $80 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Harper 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.

    Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Taguig so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Brooklyn.
