Hosting wanted: Owen travelling with Weston to Ottawa for treatment

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

My brother Weston has been accepted for treatment at Ottawa Transplant Centre in Ottawa, starting on Thursday in July. We live 199 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 4 weeks. Two of us would stay: Weston and me. We can contribute $170 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Weston 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.
