Hosting wanted: Yvonne travelling with Hyacinth to Mandeville for treatment
Hyacinth is coming to the Mandeville Cancer Centre for 6 weeks of treatment and the family needs somewhere affordable to stay.
🇯🇲 Mandeville, Manchester, Jamaica930 views
My daughter Hyacinth has been accepted for treatment at the Mandeville Cancer Centre in Mandeville, starting on Sunday in January. We live 487 km away in a village four hours away, 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Hyacinth and me. We can contribute $30 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Hyacinth 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, Yvonne. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Praying for you, Yvonne. Wishing Hyacinth a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you and your family, Yvonne. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you the best, Yvonne. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Angeles donated after I showed her your page.

Best of luck, Yvonne. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal!
Get well soon. Greetings from Kampala
thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Durgapur.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 15 people at work. Blessings.
