Boy do I hate to do this, but I figure I have a better shot here than anywhere else...

My wife will shortly embark on a 4-week neurosurgery rotation at OHSU hospital. Beings 31 July and ends 26 August. We have tried EVERYTHING to find an apartment or room for her to sublet for that stretch over the past few months - and everything is either way out of our budget (a handful), too far away (most of them), or not available for the period she requires.

Do any of you have ANY idea whatsoever where she might be able to find a place to stay for that time that is within either a bicycle ride or walk to the hospital? We have to adhere strictly to our budget, as she did not receive adequate financial aid this year. My job, unfortunately, supports us but here in the Baltimore-DC area, we don't have much room to breathe financially.

Anyone with ANY leads or info PLEASE email me ASAP. You've been an incredibly generous group, and we truly appreciate any assistance.

Marty (and the ever-so-lovely-and-talented Deborah)
