My brother Mekonnen has been accepted for treatment at Addis Ababa Children's Hospital in Addis Ababa, starting on Saturday in October. We live 346 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 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Mekonnen and me. We can contribute $20 a week and cook for the household if you'd like.
Mekonnen will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 3–6 weeks
- format
- In person in Addis Ababa
- skills
- a spare room near the hospital

Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless!
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Addis Ababa
your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Take care, Zelalem. Shared it with a few friends.
keep going. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
