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

Alok has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Durgapur General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Alok 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 20 km each way.
Alok 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Aadhya. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Gold Coast this morning. All the best.
Take care, Aadhya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Rajshahi.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nairobi
