Perhaps they can help track down some resources or services that deal with these kinds of situations...

Cancer Support Community https://www.cancersupportcommunity.org/cancer-support-helpline
Toll free 888 793-9355

Their website had this on it:

"How can I find lodging or transportation to my treatment location?"

We will search both local and national resources for transportation and link you to them. We also partner with organizations like Joe’s House to offer discounted, low cost or (occasionally) free lodging options for people receiving treatment for cancer.

I think this link leads to their local DC chapter:

https://www.cancersupportdc.org/our-programs

I don't know if any of this will help you, but know that I wish the both of you the best of everything.
