A weekly ride to Bahir Dar General Hospital for Hiwot
Hiwot needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Hiwot has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Bahir Dar General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Hiwot 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 26 km each way.
Hiwot 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.

hope it all works out, Abebe. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. God bless.
