Emily, I am so happy to hear of the help you are getting from the Angel Network!!!!! If you call the hospital and explain you are coming from out of state, they may have a place for you to stay. Some hospitals have houses nearby for patients families. All you can do is ask and see what they say. Try asking for patient services or in their cancer section if they have a support couselor. That would help with the hotel fees.

You are a great girl any mother would be so proud to have as her daughter smile Please make sure you get some rest yourself.
