Hosting wanted: Olivia travelling with Valentina to Tacoma for treatment
A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Tacoma while a child is treated.

My mother Valentina has been accepted for treatment at the Tacoma Cancer Centre in Tacoma, starting on Friday in August. We live 192 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: Valentina and me. We can contribute $170 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Valentina will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 3–6 weeks
- format
- In person in Tacoma
- skills

wishing you the best, Olivia. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Tacoma.
Take care, Olivia. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Olivia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Keep going. Wishing Valentina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Olivia. Shared it with a few friends!
Keep going, Olivia. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Riverside.
Hope things get better soon, Olivia. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
