Pasig
My brother Cesar has been accepted for treatment at Pasig Children's Hospital in Pasig, starting on Wednesday in July. We live 268 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 5 weeks. Two of us would stay: Cesar and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Cesar will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
