Hosting wanted: Ruth travelling with Rose to Mombasa for treatment
Rose is coming to Mombasa Children's Hospital for 3 weeks of treatment and the family needs somewhere affordable to stay.

My daughter Rose has been accepted for treatment at Mombasa Children's Hospital in Mombasa, starting on Friday in September. We live 583 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 3 weeks. Two of us would stay: Rose and me. We can contribute $10 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Rose will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Alexandria but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Take care, Ruth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Good luck, Ruth. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
you're not alone, Ruth. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best!
Stay strong, Ruth. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Berlin.
