A weekly ride to Durgapur Regional Medical Center for Vinayak
A rota of drivers to Durgapur Regional Medical Center would keep Vinayak on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇮🇳 Durgapur, West Bengal, India465 views
Vinayak has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Durgapur Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Vinayak 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 16 km each way.
Vinayak 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Durgapur.
