Hosting wanted: Venkatesh travelling with Kumar to Kolkata for treatment

Kolkata
My son Kumar has been accepted for treatment at the Kolkata Cancer Centre in Kolkata, starting on Saturday in November. We live 389 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: Kumar and me. We can contribute $10 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Kumar 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.

        Sending good thoughts, Venkatesh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.

        • Elias D. Schneider

          wishing you peace, Venkatesh. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
