Unfortunately, there is no real provision at UCLA according to everything that I am able to fine. Some of the hotels do reduce the price for families but still are usually well over $100 per night. We are hoping to find a place with a small refrig. and maybe a microwave so we can save on eating every meal out. One could say that I am suffering from sticker shock over the price differences between CA and FL. I thank you all for your kind suggestions and we appreciate your prayers. This is such a loving group of friends on this board! Still hoping for something we can afford better. Tomorrow is another (and brighter) day just filled with hope. Thanks again, Donna

Prayers said. I am not familair with that area so I have no idea either but I hope something comes around. Have you tried churches to see if anyone rents out rooms and kitchen priviledges. My DD goes to another of the UC and found a room to rent with a single mom.

Contact a church in the area. They may have some ideas or perhaps chuch members who would be willing to step up and help. Our church has a small place we allow people to stay for a short time free of charge during a crisis.

Did you find this website? It doesn't list rates, but it is associated with UCLA Medical Center

When my friend was having experimental treat at Stanford Medical, the hospital has a couple of low cost motels close by. I would call the Center and ask if they also have some low cost "shelters", I'm sure that they do, when my granddaughter was in Redding for a emergency surgery, the hospital has a low cost "rooming" house.

Contact the service organizations in the area, or in YOUR area, as they'll know who to contact in LA.
Kiwaniis, Lions Club, Elks Lodge, Moose Lodge, Masons/Shriners..... this kind of thing is what they do best!

Contact Patient Services at the Medical Center. They'll have listings, or have arrangements with donors, volunteers, or possible Medical Sponsors that'll help.
work at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, .... those types of programs are widely availble.
