A weekly ride to Ekurhuleni General Hospital for Chantel

Could you drive Chantel to Ekurhuleni General Hospital on Sunday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Chantel has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Ekurhuleni General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Chantel 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 23 km each way. Chantel 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.

      Keep going, Emily. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.

          Rooting for you, Emily. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Riyadh this morning. Thinking of Ekurhuleni
