A weekly ride to Accra Regional Medical Center for Yaa
Yaa needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇬🇭 GA-881-6637, Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana327 views
Yaa has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Accra Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Yaa can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 30 km each way.
Yaa is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Victoria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal.
sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Accra
Keep going, Victoria. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Accra.
