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

Rose has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Dar es Salaam General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Rose 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 28 km each way.
Rose 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.

You're not alone, Samuel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong, Samuel. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Samuel. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Hobart donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Wishing Rose a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Polokwane.
